I have never been real good at picking just a Bare Bones battery of 4.
I have:
Custom 10/22
Sako 30-06
Kimber 375 H&H
CZ 550 .458 Lott
I was looking in the safe and realized I don’t have anything between 30-06 and 375 H&H. Then I thought well if the 06 can’t getter done the bigger ones can. beer

1. 257 Wby
2. 30-06
3. 338-378 Wby
4. 460 Wby

Most of these will overlap each other which was a consideration in having a backup... The big 5 on the other hand . . well you just need two big rifles Big Grin...

If there was a reason for a bare-bones battery you wouldn't be building one to hunt the world over. Assuming you had a 1911, 22 semi-auto and SxS 12g....
Off the shelf I like the XR-100 22-250, M70 fwt 6.5 Swede, M70 338 WM and 416 Rigby.
Otherwise it might be the XR-100 22-250 AI, M70 6.5x375 Ruger x 2.15", M70 358x404 and CZ550 470 Mbogo.
Actually, it would be more about rifle than cartridge.
1) A tight single shot with heavy barrel in:
223, 22-250, 220 Swift, 223 WSSM
2) A CRF (Mauser, M70, M77) with 24" tube in:
Swede, 7x57, 7-08, 308, 270, 280, 30-06, 6.5 RM, 264, 7mm RM, 300
3) Same rifle as #2, 26" bbl (except the first three) in:
280, 30-06, 338-06, 7mm RM, 300 WM, 338 WM, 340, 358 Norma, STA, 375 H&H, 300-375 RUM
4) M70 or CZ550, P14 if nec. in:
416 RM, Rigby, Lott, Mbogo, 500 Wby/Jeffery/505, etc
OR a sweet double in 470

Marlin 22 mag
03 06 M70 (or Mauser)
416 rem Mag M70
12 gauge shotgun (any one you like)
There are about a hundred combos that would work as well but none better
