to frontier gander, I will be hunting in GMU 71 in Colorado near Dolores and I will be using a 50 cal encore.
okelkhunter,
I've noticed that many encore and omega owners hunt elk during regular ML season in colorado with powerbelts. I think because they find them to their bore's liking and get the accuracy they need. While the 348 is predominately the favorite, I would definitely use the heaviest which shoots accurately. Ironically, considering your rifle model, powerbelts may be the place to start.
