Roskoe,

That makes perfect sense to me and what I have always assumed. It just isn't clear. Then the fact that a 2X saboted bullet is expressly prohibited in the sheep regs where there is no ML season, just made me wonder.

Since the .45 saboted bullets are allowed for Elk hunting in rifle season, I can't see why a .45 cal ML couldn't be used with an adequate full bore conical, other than, the regs seem to prohibit the use .45 MLers in all elk seasons. I don't have .45 cal and don't plan on getting one, but I could see some .45 cal owners feeling tiffed over it. What are you thoughts on that? A 488 grain .451 full bore illegal for Elk while one saboted in a .50 cal muzzleloaderlegal? I'm so confused [&:].
