Default RE: Favorite Mule Deer Cartridge?

I used a .223 with a 55 gr. v-max tip to drop my 3.5 year old mulie this season, actually I used 3 but he still went less than 5 yards between the first and 3rd shots It was a bolt action too. 185 Yards. Mulies are dumb during the rut.I could have dropped him with a 22.He was so busy trying to ride a doehe had no idea what hit him. My deers lungs were pudding.When a whitetail hears a gun it takes off, evenwhen it is hit. A muley hears a gun shot and it puzzles them, so they dont bolt immediately.
