Mule Deer/Antelope only

[Mike D Texas]

If I were in your shoes and since you hand load, my choices would be as follows:

1. 280AI - Seems to be the most versatile
2. 270 with a fast twist barrel
3. 6.5PRC only because of factory ammo availability
4. 6.8 Western - it’s destined to be an enthusiast cartridge

6 creed if you have gay hunting regulations.

That'll work for elk too.

If you really want extra hate then the 6 UM.
