elk load??

[Bob Gular]

That load is just fine for elk (or moose and buffalo for that matter). I took a bull with 70 grains of fff pushing a 370 gr. minie and he went less than 50 yards. Try to place your shot in the lung area and behind the shoulder blade.

BS, I may be using a TC Hawken 50 I'm on the fence about buying it, I wasnt sure if a 50 would be sufficient for elk. I do like the way the powerbelts perform in my other sidelock. Does anyone know are these bullets legal in Colorado? Their web site says that they are.

Colorado's Regulation says that a conical length can't be more than 2x the diameter. So, a .50 can't be more than 1" long. So, just be sure to measure first, before A Division of Wildlife officer does. No sabots allowed.

And, yes, measure and shoot some of the Power belts to see how they work in your rifle. If they work in your rifle, you could hunt anything in the lower 48 with them.
