300 Win Mag, one of several ideal and very capable calibres. Anything from there up to .375 cal with bullets from 250 to 270 gn should do the job with authority with a bit of disance capability thrown in.
No guarantees a shot bull won't walk though. They sometimes do even with a hit that would drop a lesser animal. But a hit with an appropriate cal should be somewhat dissuasive.
