I would argue that the .303 British fired from a Lee Enfield has that honor. I'm pretty sure the last rifle of empire has been used at one point or another to kill everything from a German to an elephant.
Another interesting fact the Lee Enfield will shoot with the M1 Garand doing shooting qualifications. When I did the Appleseed which is based around the Garand all the other bolt guys couldn't keep up, but Enfield's could.
