You didn't say American so I would go with 7.62X39.

I agree with the razorback too. The .30 caliber had so many off-shoots, almost all of them excellent. My personal favorite is the .308 (M14)

Neither was the .303 Brittish, 8 x 57mm or the .22 S/L/LR.

Which makes it incredibly hard to pass up on the .30-06 and the .45ACP.
