Default RE: wyoming Mulie hunt

haha, .270 not enough gun for mule deer? that's a good one.

What's the best caliber for mule deer? I'd have to say probably .270win. it's the classic long range deer cartridge.

Though nowadays if you don't use something like a 7mm rem mag or .300 win mag, it's like you're using a .22

If you shoot it well and like the gun, it would be my goto for a mule deer hunt. If you're looking to buy a new rifle anything from .25-06 to .338win mag I think is fair game, but I see little reason to deal with a heavy long barreled magnum rifle just to shoot a mule deer. Personally I'd want something lighter more manageable.

Tons of guys even use .243win on muleys, but so do alotta guys use .300 win mags.
