Mule Deer Cartridge

IMHO! Choose 6.5 PRC: flatter shooting, less recoil, excellent for Colorado mule deer distances overall hunts.

I have several choices each time I go out. I was a 300WSM guy until I got my 6.5 prc about 18 months ago. After dialing in a load with 156s, my 300wsms haven't left the safe. I shoot it to targets 1200-1500 yds often. It's lethal and crazy accurate with better wind bucking than my 300s, plus I can spot my own shots. Last year I took a large boar at 564 yds, a good bull at 350 yds, a deer at 70 yds, and a cougar at 5 yards. Flawless performance in every instance. 6.5 PRC will be my #1 choice from here on out.

If you don't want to swap barrels and knowing what I know now and id go fast twist 243. 6.5 PRC is pretty slick. I really liked mine.
But a fast 6mm or 22 cal is flat deadly. And easy to shoot.

243 fast twist. 6 creed. 22 creed. 25 creed. 6.5 creed. 6.5 PRC if you plan on shooting over 600 yards.
