A few years back, I decided to start hunting elk with a muzzleloader.
My goal was to expand my elk hunting opportunities, and the muzzleloader was a means to the end.
I researched this question a bit, and talked to several experienced elk hunters who use muzzleloaders.
Each one of them told me the same thing.

BARNS, don�t waste you time with anything else.

They are not cheap, but compared to the price of an out of state elk tag, a weeks vacation and a one thousand mile road trip, quality bullets are not even a drop in the bucket, and they work.
Accurate, great expansion and complete penetration.


You can argue back and forth about Power Belts, Great plains bullets, Shockwaves or Minis. Too much powder for this bullet, not enough for that one. This bullet does not shoot good in one gun, that bullet in another, but have you ever heard anyone say anything bad about Barns ?
