Dont count out the Russian oldie 7.62 x 54 R. Its been as old as the .30 06 and just as good on deer, mouse , hogs, coyotes , bear and tigers (in Siberia/Kamchatka Peninsula) and , of course , in the defense of Stalingrad. If its good enough for Vassili Zaitsev, then that be my pick as well.

I assume you mean rifle cartridges, so ...

.22 LR
.223 Win
.243 Win
.30-06 (or .308, if you need a short action)
