[QUOTE="th82457, post: 1782576, member: 35153"] If you want to dial in your gun & meet all Colorado regulations I suggest the following. Use BH 209 powder with full power 209 primers as suggested above. Then do a search & contact the Thor bullet supplier. They have basically Barnes solid copper H.P. bullets that can be bought in H.P. or plastic tip that are modified with a hollow base and sized to match your bore. You can order a sample of (4) bullets that have .500", .501", .502" &.503" skirted base. These come with instructions on how to use them to determine which bullet diameter will shoot best in your rifle. Once best fit is determined, then you can order the correct size bullets for your rifle. These work fantastic for accuracy & on elk. No worries on penetration or accuracy. They are not cheap - but worth every penny. I tried them out at first with a scope on my muzzleloader & after zeroing I shot a 3 shot group at 100 meters that had all three rounds touching. Then I removed the scope, put on a good peep sight and practiced out to 150 meters with peep sight. Both my hunting partner & myself have killed elk with this combination with no issues. The BH 209 with these bullets is a no-brainer. [/QUOTE]
