For all around deer and elk, plus brown bear, I'd go with the 338 Win. Mag.

I've shot a number of deer with the 338 Winchester, and it not only drops them stone-dead on the spot, but it doesn't tear them up as badly as something like a 270 Win. It is by no means too big for any deer hunting, as some might surmise.

I've used the 338 Win. Mag. more than any other cartridge for elk hunting over the last 25 years, and it's a tailor-made cartridge for that job. If you can't cleanly taken any bull elk that walks this continent with a 338 Win. Mag., you won't be able to get the job done with anything else.

For brown bear, I'd rather hunt with a 338 Win. Mag. than any other cartridge. With premium 250 gr. bullets at 2700 fps., it's more than up to the task, and you'll have a much lighter rifle to carry compared to a 375 H&H, 416 Rigby, etc., and a more shootable one as well.

Versatile and practical all-around cartridge? You bet!
