If you are into raw power, the largest rifle I had the 'pleasure' to use was a .600 Nitro Express (3 rounds, sore for a week) and a .460 Weatherby (5 rounds, sore for another week). A .50 caliber is barrel of fun (if you have the 'proper' range). For 'normal' use a good .22 is a real 'pleasure'. 7mm and/or .308's are the 'perfect' calibers for me.
