My oldest boy and myself will hunt Mule Deer again this year with friends.
Finally decided which rifles and loads are hunting with us this year.
My son will use his old favorite Ruger Flat Bolt M77 in .284 Win. Load is 130 grain Speer SPBT going an average of 3034 fps, 56 grains of IMR4350 gets it going and WW brass and primers, 2.91" OAL.

Mine is my Win M70 with 24" barrel in 30/06, 57 grains of Reloader 17 in Nosler brass and WW primers pushes the 165 grain Federal Trophy Bonded Tip bullet to 3068 fps average.

Both of these are Max loads so please work up if you try to duplicate.
New bullet for me but my sons load is tried and true on lots of deer, antelope and elk.
