If you had to have only three?

#1 20 Tac hitting clays out to 500 yards /varmint
#2 243 with95 gr bergers for my young ones starting out deer hunting
#3 30-06 with 168gr bergers to stock freezer
 
.223
.270 WSM
338-378 Wby

I would trade the WSM for a .300 win mag if I did much deer hunting at super long range but the max for where I hunt is about 800 yds. I also don't chase varmints at long range or I may swap the .223 for a faster 22 cal or a .243.
 
6.5 WSM
30 Nosler
338 Edge

Yup, that should just about do it. All covered by one powder.
