If your rifle will shoot inch and a half groups or thereabouts at 100 yards, and nearly all modern hunting rifles will, and your proficient with your action, I don't think it matters one iota what you use. If a auto is any faster, and that is debatable, it is milliseconds as you need to recover from a centerfires recoil before you can shoot accurately again, and just about any bolt, lever, or pump should have been ran by the time your eye can line the crosshairs on target again after a shot is fired.
Haven't used a pump on big game but we've killed deer and elk with several of the other three and far as I could tell there was no difference.
Pumps work as good as a auto with a shotgun for me too.
Shot placement is what is far more improtant that the gun used.
