Bob, like you I�ve taken some good mule deer bucks over the decades. Have used various cartridges from the .257 Roberts to the .300 Winchester Magnum, but a couple of years ago decided to average the calibers, bullet weights and velocities. The result was a bullet around .28 in diameter, with a 150-grain bullet at 2900 fps. Sounds kinda familiar!

Come to think of it, that works on elk, too...
