I'm sorry but that just cracks me up!!! LMFAO!!
For deer and varmints, the .243.
For deer and larger, the .308.
Both are great for southern deer. If I were going to hunt mulies are some big old northerners, I'd go .308 for sure. Have you thought about a 30.06?
I would also consider a bolt gun but that is just my prefrence.
Finding quality hunting property to hunt will be a much bigger factor in your success than the caliber you choose.
Good luck hunting and welcome to the forum!!!!
