There is soooooo many good cartridges already out there, unless you just need to be different (and that is certainly fine ;~) you are better off going with a proven performer.
In North America for Big Game the 30-06, 45-70, and the 375HH will do anything needed and they are all around 100 years old or more (45-70)!
In handgunning the JD series pretty well got all the gains worth chasing and the 7-30 and 35 rem. can handle the needs of those who are looking for factory type ammo.
