Which Cartridge for each caliber?

[WGTX]

I re-read the question a couple times. So favorite to me means does not need to be practical or even make sense really, I like it. Some of these I have some I don't.
.17 Rem
.204
22-250
6mm creed
25-06 AI
26 Nosler
7 SAUM
28 Nosler
.308
45-70
50 BMG

22-250 AI
6mm AI
25 SS
6.5 Grendel - AR
6.8 SPC - AR
7 SAUM
30-06
338 Lapua
375 Dakota

I have all of them but the 25 SS, which is likely the next build.

7MM STW
300 Win Mag
338 Win Mag
375 H&H
416 Rigby
458 Lott

I own and at one time, or other have shot them all quite a bit. Loved to shoot the big guns, but age and bad knees are catching up to me. If I had to pick three for everything in North America, it would be the 223, 25-06, and 338 Win Mag.

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

I Think at the moment my choices would be:
22-250 fast twist of course
6 creedmoor
25 creedmoor
6.5 prc
270 Winchester
7 saum
300 prc
338 rum

22-250
.243 Win
257 Weatherby
6.5 PRC
270 Winchester
280 AI
300 WSM
338 WM

.224 - 22-250AI fast twist
.244 - No interest
.257 - 257 Wby fast twist
.264 - 6.5SAUM, .264WM or 260AI (this is the hardest one to choose for me)
.277 - No interest
.284 - 28 Nosler
.308 - 300 Win Mag
.338 - .338 Lapua

I've got most of them:
223/5.56 - Obviously, my 3-gun and plinking rifle
6 mm BRA - My PRS gun
25 CM - Don't have one but borrowed a local PRS pro's at a match, it was way too easy to make hits at 1k
6.5 Grendel - My deer hunting AR
270 WSM - I guess?
284 Win - My elk hunting rifle
300 WSM - seems like a great cartridge, I've only got a 30-30
338 XC - seems cool, idk can't afford this
