Most of these cartridges would be perfect for the thread "cartridge for the last 30yrs"....

I would very much like a kimber in 280AI, if you reload i don't see that you would need any other rifle for anything in North America...

Hey! I don’t reload so I can have one rifle! I reload because I want consistency and speed!

On another note I agree with you about the 280ai.

30-06 because vetted, super versatile, cheap.

.300 Win mag. With the right ammo, it doesn't destroy too much meat on a whitetail, and it will work for anything else in North America.

What do you consider “the right ammo” to not destroy too much meat. I have a 300WM needing such a load.

From what I've seen, all copper tend to not fragment as much. Too much fragmentation/expansion causes more meat loss.
