    Something based on WSM or SAUM or a single shot based on a RUM (i.e 338 Edge) would be the easiest. Or you could open it up to a .585 boltface (if that is an option with your action) and do something based off a 338LM case or a Norma Magnum case.

    For me: easiest 7mmSAUM or a 7mm/300WSM (using Norma brass)
    Then possibly: 338 Edge single shot
    If opening it up: 7mm FatMax (I have to say that as I have one ) or a 338LM Improved variant, or if you are keen, a 338 Thor.

    I wouldn't do a 6.5 WSM personally. Very hard on barrels from what I've heard...
    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more
