[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1920132, member: 94491"] just remember--in CO you must use loose powder (no pellets)--full bore (no sabots), and iron or peep sights (no scopes, red dots, see-all, tritium etc) I have an SS optima V2, it shoots the 270gr bore-lock copper bullets sub moa, I use 100gr of BH209 for just above 1900fps ---2nd best is the 300gr Thor (barnes) tipped bullets in .501" make sure if you run the BH209 that you get the right breach plug and run magnum 209 primers (I use cci) I bought a shim kit to shim the firing pin bushing to eliminate primer blow-by/leak I run the eabco peep rib with the merit williams adjustable aperture rear sight and the lyman target front globe with the lee shaver fine cross hair insert for great open sight" accuracy good luck---LOTS of competition for ML tags now as it gets you into the rut season with the archers--I know lots of guys over the past 5 years that have bought a ML just so they can get the better season tag and not have "as much competition" or required pref pts to get a nice bull tag as with rifle tags [/QUOTE]
