Which three must have calibers based on current bullet selection, not necessarily cartridges. For medium to large game if you only had three choices. List in order from most important to least important as if you would have to narrow down to only owning the first listed.

Sorry for the edit, but say up to elk for large game.

6.5 Creed
7mm Rem mag
338 Lapua/338 Rum
These are all I would need to do everything I would like to do, except African Big 5. 375 H&H

 

[Red Ultra]

In Pa. Only need:
22 LR
.270 Winchester
7 Rem Mag takes care of the remaining needs

 

[Memberberries]

.338 win mag - if it's in north america and the shot is placed well than its pretty much guaranteed
.308 win for medium game
don't see much need for anything in between. maybe a magnum 7mm if you don't like the 338 recoil but want to shoot an elk

 

[manitou]

For my purposes:
.17hmr
7mm-08
.280ai
I don't plan on hunting anything bigger than elk/moose.

204 varmints 308 and 7mm will be a must

Calibers

don't bother with the 338 Win Mag. get a .338 Lapua. The Win Mag could not punch a hole through a bison. 260 Rem on the other end, stay away from the fashionable Creed.
