      All three??
      I had a lot of success with the Ruger 44 mag carbine and the old Remington pump chambered for the 300 Savage.
      I've taken a few with the .243, but it's a little light for big Adk. bucks.
      Thanks for the response.

          .243 has taken a lot of ADk bucks, the biggest one that I have taken was with a .243..popular at our hunting camp..just saying

            In the Mountains I carry my H&R single shot 45-70 Gov, open sights, 350 Grain Oregon Trails SWC handload. I have it loaded down to around 1500 fps MV.

            In the southern zone I carry my Marlin .44 Mag lever action rifle. 240 Gr HP- XTP handload, open sights. This one is loaded hot.
