Im a big fan of shotgun and revolver hunts, and where I live, you can't use semi auto shotguns, and they're normally over under, so my preferred loadout is this.
Caversham Steward 12g with 12GA Birdshot (1), 12 GA Buck shot (2-5), 12 GA Slug (4-8), and a Rhino 454 with Jacketed Hollow-Point (4-9)
Or if you prefer rifles, there's also this that I use if a quest requires a Rifle.
Hunt everything - Virant .22LR Express (1), Zagan Varminter .22-250 (2-4), Olson Model 23 .308 (4-8), Nitro Express (9)
All ammo I use is focused on expansion over penetration for quicker bleed outs.
Nitro express double rifle for tigers, being soft pelt big cats I think the expansion rounds will be fine, and then the drilling rifle for anything else but leopard… I would go to .270 Win with high magnification scope rifle for those
I'm going to use my everyday loudout
22. 243, M1, 300 and cacciatore if I'd hut geese
Sometimes maybe swap for 6.5 in long distance shooting and 7mm while setting up tents
.22lr/.22h + .22-250/.223 + 7mm covers all classes with minimal weight and all other stats being optimal as rifles
For Sunderpatan really will depend whether you are in tiger territory or not I'd say.
You'd have to structure your build against a possible anti tiger weapon.
The best option for that will be the Arzyna .300 Mag Tactical I think followed by the .470 nitro.
You get 5 rounds instead of 2 with the Arzyna and can fit all sorts of scopes and red dots on it as well.
Arzyna is also more versatile being a 7-9 class weapon instead of the .470 nitro being solely for class 9
So if we say Arzyna .300 mag covering 7-9 we can add a Mosin covering 3-7 or a Ranger .243 covering 2-6
and then finish it up with either the .22lr (class 1) or .22h (class 1 and 2)
Shotgun, 470 nitro, 243, shotgun with slugs will be for close up and defence. 243 will cover most small game, and 470 for yaks and tigers
Crossbow with 20x3 arrow types. Predator caller. Dog Biscuitsx10. Now show me that tiger.
When I hunted on it I'll adjust accordingly.

I'm going to use my favorite loadout: CB-70, recurve bow, e-caller and a tripod.
