My dad has been knocking muleys down for 40 years with a 6mm rem, 100gr interlock for years and also hornady sst’s. Gun came from his father in law who used it all through the 70s also.
Some people like to see their bullet impact and don't need to prove their manliness with the newest ultramagnum caliberSeeing people talk about putting a brake on a .243 or 6.5 CM makes me realize that .30 cal magnums are definitely not an option for some folks. Wow

No explanation needed. Your dad is a different story. Whatever it takes to get him out there. Same goes for kids. I was referring to perfectly healthy grown men. Sorry about that.If you go back a page or two you'll see the rifle is now painted ridiculous rainbow, by my dad and kid so they can have some memory tied to it after he passes from cancer. He is still with us, but pancreatic cancer doesn't have a cure yet and is having bad days more often. It also is engraved with a nice message from him to my kid.
I landed on it slinging 85gr bullets; so just a whole lot of non-masculine things going on with that rifle all at once. That setup did account for the shortest recovery distance (1-2 yards) on our recent mule deer hunt in comparison to two 300wsm rifles, and a 7saum.
My hope is that this thread can keep rolling with stories of success in the .243/6.5 "small" cartridge realm and not turn into another argument thread. Thanks.
No problem! Thanks for being reasonable and putting thought into reading what I wrote.No explanation needed. Your dad is a different story. Whatever it takes to get him out there. Same goes for kids. I was referring to perfectly healthy grown men. Sorry about that.
