what do you think is the most versatile cartridge ever made?

Post says part of the requirement is light recoiling.
With this question in mind I run around in a big circle and always end up back at a fine 3006 that you are well acquainted with.
Because even though my 20 bore flint lock will kill everything on this continent I sure as #### wont be bringing it sheep hunting.

Probably a subject where someone who’s done the North America 29 or at least most of them would be the person to ask, rather than asking anyone to prevent answers without the depth of experience like .375 Win. I’ve met a couple in the course of work, and they’re by and large .300 guys. If I was doing it, I’d choose a 7 Mag but that’s just personal preference.
You have to choose the tool by the most demanding task for it. That is long range and mountains, I’d much sooner make a 400 yard mountain goat shot with a 7 Mag than a .375 Win.

If something's meant to be shot, point a Lee Enfield at it. Done.
Most of the battle rifle cartridges are fairly equivalent, so which one to use is more a question of which fits the rifle you like best.
For light recoil, something with a muzzle brake might be an option. That and a bit of rubber on the stock really tame the recoil, while a surplus rifle with a metal buttplate is not something you want to be firing all afternoon.

Throwing a wrench here.
If the holder of the rifle is a reloader, the 45-70 could fill the bill.
Not a long range cartridge (unless you're really into ballistics), it can be reloaded from 170 grain round ball small game getters, all the way to 500 grain smashers, in various levels of both performance, and recoil.
