Hello,
If my 13 yo son draws a tag we will be going on a muzzle loader hunt for elk this September in Colorado. We started our workout routine today to get in better shape for this type of hunting.
We have basic CVA inline 50 cal muzzle loaders that use the 209 primer for ignition.
In Wisconsin for deer we've been using simple power belt bullets and pellet powder but it appears we have two issues here. 1. From reading it seems the power belts have somewhat of a bad reputation on elk and 2. Pelletized powder is not legal to use during the muzzle loader season in Colorado.
Can anyone that hunts elk in Colorado with a muzzle loader share a bullet/powder recipe that will get the job done and stay within the legal framework of their regulations?
Any help and information is much appreciated.
Thanks!
