Looking at your caliber list you're really good at everything in the lower 48 up to 200+ yards. The only thing you're missing is a heavy long range hitter for that elk across the ravine in Rockies. So I'd suggest a 338 WM or 300 RUM.
I don't think you need anything below the 6.5x55 for common hunting unless you want a true varmint round like 223 or similar.

As I get older I find hitting a mini ram at 200 yards with the 22 oddly more satisfying.
