Ammo and access to the animals you want to hunt are not an issue for this 3-rifle battery to hunt anything on land. My choices are:
375 H&H
300 Weatherby
6.5 Creedmoor

I believe in slugs. So, we're really talking a low velocity, big bore rifle. I tried to convince Randy Garrett to make an anti-bear saboted 12 gauge load 25 years ago, but he said his mold maker had just died. I figured a hard cast 45 caliber 450 grain or so bullet at 1700 fps would be just the medicine.When I answered I didn’t consider a shotgun because this is in the rifle section, but given some more thought I still don’t think I’d bring a shotgun.

My preferred accelerator for such things is my 444 marlin and 45/70. .
I sold my 2 .45-70s when I enlisted in 2001. I'll probably never be willing to spend the money to buy them again, though I definitely would love to get a .454 Casull rifle, considering I have hundreds of rounds and only a single action that makes me bleed if I shoot it.
In fact just thinking about it makes me want to sell it and use the money on something I would use more often.
You want your original $300 back? I can make that happen!
So, $400? I'm in! JkMaybe add a 1 in front and we can start the bidding on gunbroker.
Loonwulf is correct- the 9.3x62 is the min in most areas- if you are talking duggaI dont think the 06 is LEGAL for buffalo most places they can be hunted...... I will admit though my knowledge on the subject is slim at best.....
