[QUOTE="Couesnguns, post: 2892473, member: 65606"] My opinion would be a 6.5 SAUM with a 20" barrel and 1:8 twist and with Unknown Munitions short action mag COAL of 3.00" pushing the 156s at 3k would be a great mule deer round. I use a 26" barrel and achieved 3200 with RL26. 7mm-08 with the 150 eldx would be a great mule deer rifle, less recoil and possible off the shelf ammo. 270 WSM with a 1:8 twist barrel and 170 berger EOL is an all round deer/elk rifle. But if you are wanting to shoot out to 400 yards in a short action for deer, the 7mm-08 is a superb choice for ammo availability, recoil sensitivity and knock down power. [/QUOTE]
