Default RE: Roskoe and others. Can this be right?

ORIGINAL: Underclocked

You guys are talking about Colorado? Where IS that 2X restriction on length. I've looked through the online brochures and fail to see it now.
UC, you find it under legal means of take. Certain things prohibited in ML season but allowed in rifle will say, for example, "Pelletized powder not allowed in Muzzleloading Seasons". Or, "Sabots not allowed in Muzzleloading Seasons".

What caught my attention was that there is no muzzleloading season for sheep this year and all the regulations regarding legal use of muzzleloaders as a legal means of take actually apply only to the rifle season where muzzleloaders are allowed. Scopes, sabots, pelletized powder, and smokeless powder are not prohibited. But there is a requirement that any conical bullet, (i suspect saboted or otherwise), must be less than 2X its diameter.

That got me thinking that my assumption that any muzzleloading bullet heavier than the minimums might be incorrect. I literally hate regulations which obfuscate or confuse folks. I want to use only legal projectiles but I can not, for the life of me, understand why a person can't use a 375 SSB or a White .451 loaded with BS 488 DURING RIFLE season. Its just plainly all @#^%ed up, at least in how it is written. When I previously asked questions to the DOW about ML regulations, I got no answer. I have a friend who is a game warden. I think I will ask him.
