I am hoping to draw for a CO tag this fall - my first elk hunt. I am very pleased with the performance of my TC Triumph, but all that experience has been with saboted bullets - a no-no for CO mzldr season. I have some T/C Maxi-balls, T/C Maxi-hunters, cast conicals and some Federal BOR bullets.
Anyone have any experience with full-bore conicals launched from an in-line? Other forums claim the maxi-hunter is not a good option. I may consider slugging the barrel and trying the Thor bullets.
I plan to start experimenting soon with the Leupold scope in place, then remove it, install the peep sight and start practicing. Shots will be limited to <100 yards.
If this doesn't work, I may just take the tried and true .54 cal Lyman GPR flinter with PRB atop a healthy dose of blkpwdr. Anyone smacked an elk with a PRB?
Thanks. DJB
