.338 Federal (recently introduced have no experience with it.
45-70 using commercial loads and current rifle: Ruger #1 & #3 and Marlin 336,
( no Trapdoors not even the replicas)
.35 Whelan, that Remington made commercial back in late 80's
in the m700, (you can also rebarrel a current 30-06)

.444 Marlin in the Marlin 1895(?) lever action

Then you are into the magnums and wildcats.
