35 whelen




30-06  will always be around  to get later


your other 3 will do what ever the 30-06  will do


with  easy to find ammo


35  is a step up in power  and a certain  kool  facter

Between those two, definitely the Whelan, but you do have that pretty well covered already. Looking at your list, there was one glaring hole...... no 500 S&W. It shoots cast extremely accurately and is an up close show stopper. Easy reloader also. Just sayin'.........
