So I finally broke down and applied for a Colorado Miley muzzleloader tag. I should draw it. I have hunted the area during Archery several times. Taking a buck hasn’t been a problem. I passed lots of forkies and three points but was unable to get close enough to a legitimate 4by. A good friend found a nice rifle for me to use for deer and elk. It was made with 1:20 twist for conicals. Still a green mountain barrel.
My friend fixed me up with some 550g .502 (buffalo arms I suspect) conicals. I finally got it out and shot it. Went well. Put a scope on it to work up some loads. Groups shown using 90 g ffg by weight.
Since this year there will be no muzzleloader elk I was thinking of getting some smaller conicals. Any suggestions? I see several options from 420, 460, 495 g.
The .502 was easy to load. I don’t think I would want any tighter. I was also fixed up with some small black discs(not sure the name) that separate the bullet and powder.
I will try to load some pictures. Thanks in advance. PS I am not a consistent or good shooter.
