Thoughts on the VLD vs the A-Max (105grainers) +1.

Nice deer!
The ol' 243 shines again. I thought it wasn't big enough for Western big game.

Thanks again guys.  Nice shooting and great bucks!
Do you guide John or are these friends of yours?
Either way I am impressed.
You done much w/ the 95 gr VLD? I have a Sako-barreled Springfield chambered to 6-250 that really likes em w/ Hunter. Am thinkin I may need dials... Just friends. Never have used the 95gr VLD. Thoughts on the VLD vs the A-Max (105grainers) I have not used the .243 105 AMAX on deer. I have used the .22 75gr AMAX and while it worked the AMAX does expand quicker. The VLDs terminal performance is so good and it has a higher BC than the AMAX, so for me it is a simple choice. Are you guys hunting out of a helicopter or something? How in the heck do you find three awesome mulies?
Sweet shooting and some really nice deer. I'd love to hear more details about the hunt. Public, private? Private ground and a limited quota area combined with favorable weather conditions. The stars all aligned.

Did some mule deer hunting with a group of friends here in Wyoming. The ol .243 Win got a work out but that rifle always delivers. Ron took this buck at 485yds. The buck never took a step. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb428/GreybullPrecision/J%20bar%20H%20Mule%20Deer/DSC00631_zpsd65e1b9a.jpg) Next up was Mike and he made a great 285 yds shot on this buck bedded in the cornstalks. Buck did get up to his feet for a 35yd dash with a busted shoulder. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb428/GreybullPrecision/J%20bar%20H%20Mule%20Deer/DSC00641_zps307d425d.jpg) The other Mike was batting cleanup. 350yds and DTR. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb428/GreybullPrecision/J%20bar%20H%20Mule%20Deer/DSC00647_zps1e7eb084.jpg) Great hunt with good guys. Sweet shooting boys. Those are some fine deer. Love the rifles too.............

John,
Was the the "hunting" VLD or the yellow box regular VLD?

Take care.
