Killed them with a 270, 300WSM, 22-250, and 243. Ill use my 243 again if I get another tag.

If down in a headlock, I'd opt for the .264 WM. It's a Winchester M70 of 2000 vintage or so (a special run of "Westerners" of 2000) w/ a Leupold M8 8x scope. Scary accurate, though not so sporting.

Several 25-06s, a couple of 270s, 280s, 7 RM, 7 WSM, 308s, 30-06s, and several others. Pretty much the flavor of the week.

Been fortunate to have had 2 Arizona tags, filled the first with my .300 win mag at 350 yards or so. The second with a .50 TC Hawken at 60 yards. Both worked fine...
Too close for irons, switching to scope...

I have shot them with various .257 calibers. .25/06 is probably my favorite but this year ill use my 6x45.
