    The answer is the one you shoot best, and probably the one you already have.
    Anything .243 and above will do it with careful shooting, anything above 7mm will do it will some assurance.
    If you’re new to the game and want light, do not go with anything that has magnum in the name. Something T3 weight I’d suggest .270 max, to help you place shots well. The recoil can start to get up with light rigs, and doesn’t help when you’re shooting from weird positions up in the mountains.
