I've got a Ruger 77 in 6MM Remington that I used on several Antelope and after examining the internal damage using the 100 grain Sierra bullets I decided it was plenty of gun for the big Mule Deer and Antelope. DRT. That old gun has quite a history with the young kids in my family and never lost an animal.. Only problem I had was that when I loaned it out to some of my buddies for their "wives" to use I had a tough time getting it back. BTY the 6MM Remington works fine in a short action! I don't know why women and kids kill deer easily with a .243 and men need a 300 Win Mag!
