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.

Mr Burns have you ever tried the 115's yet? My .243 with a 7 twist is a little heavy for humping the mountains but fields it would do fine. I have 500 of Berger's hunting VLD bullets to try. Thought I might try them on pronghorn one of these days.

Travis 10 lbs empty. Will a 56' Win Varminter in .243 shoot the 105 vls's ? Im pretty sure its 1 in 10 twist. very best I have never tried but the factory Rem 9ish twist always seems to work great. I have my doubts but no experience with a 1 in 10. Mr Burns have you ever tried the 115's yet? My .243 with a 7 twist is a little heavy for humping the mountains but fields it would do fine.

Not in the 243 but a friend has used them with great success in a 6-284.

The other Mike was batting cleanup. 350yds and DTR. Great hunt with good guys. 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?

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...
