Steve the Shockwaves are sabots,can't use them in Colorado. I checked the CVA manual and it says 400 gr. max. bullet weight.
Frontier I really do not want to use a bullet over 300 gr. because of the drop. I would rather use a lighter bullet that is still flying good than a heavy bullet that is tumbling to the earth like a fastball from my arm. Thanks to all,please keep them coming.
I am lining up bullets to test for elk in Colorado in 2008. I am starting my testing with Barnes 290g TMZ and Knight Ultimate Slam 285g, also made by Barnes. both are all copper, both have aerodynamic design. I intend to hunt inline ML in 1st rifle season, in Oct 08. Chap Gleason
