Mule deer gun advice

[sharkhunter]

Lots of people love the 25-06 on muledeer

6.5 CM neck shot will drop them on the spot , sure you loose some meat but they never run .. Not sure what you think is LR though.. I have taken deer at well over 800 have one in the 1048 range , but that is a 300 RUM it will get the job done and then some , a bit hard on the shoulder not a fun bench gun ha ha

Vote for the .264 Win Mag here. Love that caliber! Great for long distance shooting!

[TX03RUBI]

That .264 sounds like the perfect ticket as long as it’s not too heavy to lug around. A fast flat 6.5 will be more forgiving on wind and elevation changes, and that .264 is top of the food chain when it comes to 6.5.

[JakeGraves]

Are those what you own or are you looking at buying a new rig? Invest is good glass that tracks well and put a couple hundred rounds through it at distances up to double what you feel comfortable shooting. 308 will do it but need t as forgiving on wind calls as your 264 Mag.

[okrattler]

.308 would be plenty. My buddy shoots mulies with a .243 and they don't go far. I think you're good to go with every caliber you mentioned.

.300 Win Mag is such a great caliber and has killed plenty of those critters for me!

[LuBowhunter]

I’ve killed them with 6.5 creedmoor, 300 Win, and 7mm rem.

I killed all of my mule deer, my antelope and my largest whitetail with a 22-250. It was the only Rifle I owned until I got older and started reading Internet forums...that is when I learned that caliber was not adequate to kill large game!

.25-06/308/.30-06 etc is plenty, magnum if you want to just because.

I killed my Mulie in my avatar at 200yds with my 257 wthby, 110 grain accubonds. Complete pass through on a 300 pound animal. I was very impressed with the accubond.

thanks for all the help I am going with 300 and 246 for back up. They also have my best scopes.

I like the way you think sir, I get told that all the time about my 22-250 you shoulda brought more gun. I’ve never had anything run from “uncle painless”
