I have a new Colorado elk load I'm playing with - spent the afternoon at the range with the new Remington Genesis. The new 338 gr. platinum Powerbelt, ahead of 130 grains of Jim Shockey Gold, shot consistently 2" (open peepsights) at 100 yards. In the cold rain on Friday, this load chrono'ed at 1891. My New Mexico load, a 300 Shockwave ahead of 130 grains of Pyrodex pellets, was going 1886 out of the Genesis on Friday. Not really giving up anything here to be Colorado legal.

Nonetheless, a medium weight lead conical going 1350 will be a formidable elk load at moderate range. Most folks limit themselves to 125 yards.
