Default RE: Shooting a Tradition's Pursuit

Cayugad..

I am very new at this so I haven't experimented with any projectiles yet just charges and I found that my rifle shot very well with 100grns of pyrodex RS FFgpowder the bullets Iam using are Hornady sabots 44-240 hp/xtp and they seemed to fly really nice as I mentioned I left the range at 2" groups at 50yrdsopen sights which I thing for Hunting is acceptable had a few fliers but it was my first time so I had to get into a grove of shooting and swabing every few shoots. As I get more time in I will eventually try different projectiles. One question I have for you is should I shoot a heavier bullet for elk or is 240grn enough? Also if your buddy finds a projectile that shoots good out of his pursuit let me know I eventually would like to try different things.
