Curious about what kind of loads you guys are using for Colorado elk. I've tried Hornady 350 Gr. FPB's with some luck over 90 grs. BH209 (by volume! Don't want to mislead here!) with some sucsess. Not as acurate as my regular load with 250 gr. Barnes EZ load which is not legal. Has anyone used or had any luck with Thor bullets. The Hornady's load fine. Not bad in my particular rifle. I've heard of some guys breaking a sweat trying to get them down the barrel. I shot about 10 shots without cleaning and got about a 3" group at 100 yds with 90 grs. Not sure about the velocity. I was shooting for groups first. No sense chronographing if they shoot like a scattergun! Give my some insight, please.

I have not had a chance to use them yet but Thor bullets in your rifle might be the ticket
