Fellas, bit of a worthless fun exercise but if you are inclined, rank the below bigbore/big game ammo as to likeliness to be found on a shelf at whatever gunstores you frequent.

375H&H
416 Rigby
45-70
444 marlin
458 Win mag
458 lott
450 bushmaster
9.3 x 74
9.3 x 62

I’m not allowed behind the counter.
But is a good question. 45-70 is a given.
Perhaps see what online stores advertise they stock.
I think most in that list would be hard to find factory ammo anywhere local to me.
The pen is mightier than the sword. If the pen is used to order more swords.

Looks like they keep up stock on 375 hh. Fantastic on small game too. Leaves hardly a trace.

yes none are real easy though 45-70 is probably the best.

My own feeling is
45-70
375H&H
444 marlin
9.3 x 62, 458 win mag, 450 bushmaster ptobably around the same
everything else after that
