Load for Colorado elk and Black Diamond
Hi guys. Went on my first Colorado elk huntthis year witha longbowand came close. My friends want to try it in 06 with a MZ if possible. We are planning on applying for a cow tag so our chances should be good for getting drawn.
I have a new TC Black Diamond my father in lawhas for me and am wondering what type/size load I would need for an elk. I havehunted with a longbow exclusively for the past several yearsbut when I did MZ hunt, I used a TC Renegade with 90 gr of FF black and a 350 gr Maxi Hunter bullet. This was only for deer so not sure if it is enough for elk size animals. Not sure ifbarrel is 22 or 26 if that makes a difference on load selection as I haven't gotten the gun yet.
I checked the Colorado regs and sabots, pellets and scopes are not legal. So, what has worked for you Colorado guysin takingan elk? Also, this gun has all 3 ignition systems with it so which one works the best?
Thanks,
Rob
