Which Cartridge for each caliber?

[just_jon]

I just can't buy into one rifle per caliber. Heck, I can't even buy into one one per cartridge. Less is not more. Less is less.

If you were to compile your favorite cartridges one only for each caliber from .224 up to 338 what would you choose? I'm always thinking about condensing my rifles and calibers down to a handful but it's so hard to choose. Instead of asking if you could have just one of each caliber, What is your favorite hunting cartridge for each caliber? .224, .243, .257, .264, .277, .284, .308, .338
