[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 1036028, member: 70559"] "My hunting buddy’s worry that the guns I use are not enough for the Mule deer hunting I have started doing." Your buddies lack experience. I know a couple guys who hunt elk with .25 caliber. One uses a .25-06 and the other uses a .25-06 AI. They used Barnes TTSX 100 grainers quite successfully for the last few years. As far as I know they hunt bulls only. Bu to your question. I have another friend who has a .338 RUM. He is an outrageous shot but was getting 1 1/2" groups at 100 yards, despite it having a brake. I suggested he hold the rifle like he would a BB gun. His very next groups went to 1/2". So, two things. If you don't have a brake, get one. If you have one hold the rifle differently. The idea that brakes are loud is silly. Guns are loud. Start using electronic hearing protection when hunting and at the range. Using electronic hearing protection is like switching from open sights to scopes. It's modern. [/QUOTE]
