Weelll, I'll bite. In my estimation, the 375 Flanged or the 9.3 rimmed will do for all NA non-dangerous hunting. For Kodiak Browns, I'd probably opt for something up to 500 NE. Having shot all of 8 rounds in a 577 NE way back when, I'd leave that out as it weighs too much at around 15-17#. On top of that, the recoil was a total surprise to me as it came back really fast and it will punish you. My hunting partner's dad had a chance to give a small natural museum an offer they couldn't refuse for all their doubles and a few rigby boltguns when they closed up in the 70's. Between that and reading Elmer Keith and others, I was hooked on this shit for a long time. I don't have the game experience with the doubles but based on my shooting different ones over the years, I'm making an educated guess.

Lo do they call to me,
They bid me take my place among
them in the Halls of Valhalla,
Where the brave may live forever.
