Try the 300 with 110gr BH209, it might work better for you at 200 yards especially on a mulie. Only have whitetail here in Vermont but I believe a muley is much bigger.
I was going to until I saw the specs at 200 yds. Check this out with T7 powder. BH 209 can only be better.
T7 powder 110 gr 260 gr PT Gold
Muzzle... 2025fps/2365 fpe
100yd....1680fps/1625fpe
200yd....1395fps/1125fpe
That's plenty for Muley's
To compare with 300gr
T7 powder 110gr 300gr PT Gold
Muzzle.........1995fps/2640fpe
100yd..........1670fps/1885fpe
200yd..........1400fps/1305fpe
No doubt the 300gr has more power, but I consider it an elk load, and a bit overkill for deer.
At 200yds the 260gr is shooting flatter. I'd prefer to have that over more fpe.
With that said. I'll try the 300gr and see if I like it.
