95Harley,

Check out the Black Powder forum. There are some very knowledgable people there that have helped me figure out an elk load. I'm a local, but this fall will be my first ML hunt. I'm using 410gr Great Plains conicals with 100gr 777 powder out of a .50 Omega. So far that load is working good at the range.


mshunter22,

Good luck on your hunt. CO hunting is very different from flatland hunting. I grew up in MO and still hunt whitetail there every fall. Hunting Elk is much different. Get in shape and bring plenty of water. Learn how to use a mouth call (check out the videos by ElkNut). The most important advice I can give is be flexible. You can scout all you want, but if the elk are not in your vicinity, be ready to move to where they are.
