Before I start getting haters, I’m primarily a archery whitetail hunter. I’m going with my two nephews to CO for our first elk hunt. One is a brand new hunter and being new to elk we decided to try for a muzzleloader hunt which we got. I’ve killed my fair share of whitetails with a muzzleloader I perfer the 270 grain Federal Bor Lock bullet but the recommendation is for medium game. It is lethal on whitetails but I’ve had a few that the bullet stopped at the other side under the skin. I know elk are not just bigger but a lot tougher. Does anyone have a recommendation on a bulletin for elk? I should say I had to buy a new muzzleloader since I could not put sights on my Optima. I’ll be shooting and 50 cal Traditions Strikerfire with the 28” barrel.
