Just curious what loads and rifles all you Coues hunters are planning on using this upcoming season?

I will be using my custom Remington 700 chambered in .300 win mag.

Or

My 22.250 Ruger American. If I do a backpack hunt.

No Coues for me, but for mulies, either .260 Rem, 6.5 SLR, .25-06 AI, 7RM, or .300RUM. Just depends on conditions, terrain, and distance.
