I've been putting practice in with a 243 that I have loaded some 70gr Nosler for. Just waiting to get a chance now.

Usually .458 Socom with 405gr softpoints or .45 Colt with 300gr hollowpoint handloads loaded pretty warm (through a 24" lever). Sometimes 45/70, but I find follow-up shots on secondary targets are slower.
