Old BC hunting cabin has a collection of spare cartridges what do you think is there?

By far the majority of hunting rifles I see in a season, probably 90%, are one of these five,

.270 Winchester
.30-06
7mm Rem
.300 Win
.338 Win

Haven’t seen a 7-08, Whelen, or 8x57 afield yet with clients, guides, or residents doesn’t mean they’re not used, just not here yet. I have seen one .260, one 6.5 Creed, one 7x57, one 9.3, a few .308s, a .280 / AI a couple times, a .350 (Hoyt), multiple .300 Ultras or Wbys (kinda consider them the same thing), half dozen .375s (one Ruger, rest H&H), one .45-70 but he switched to a .375 backup rifle.
 
Doooooohhhh.......I'll bet some one along the way brought up an ol 300 sav mod 99 for a ride to that cabin didn't they. Common enough, not the first pick for a griz, but a hunters rifle of lore none the less. Havnt seen that cartridge in a brass bucket for some time either.
 
If the brass buckets at the range are any indication 300 win mag, and 7mm rem mag are king in Northern BC.

Yea those are the two most represented rounds and make up over half of that list of the 5 that make the 90%, oddly .300 Win is absent from the shelf. Not yet on the guesses...

It’s under .338 is the clue, we all know it, anything more is a dead giveaway.
