how well did your elk load work?
I’m constantly hearing about hunters taking deer with their muzzleloaders and how the bullet either performed well or didn’t for various reasons. What I really want isto hear from Elk hunters who have taken elk with their guns and how well on how bad their load worked on big game animals. I want to really know how well the bullet worked, what type and weight and its accuracy compared to how well it took you animal. What type of gun are you shooting? How far or close was your shot and did you need a second shot?
I’m currently working up a load for my T/C Encore .50 cal and I'm trying various powders and bullets as well as primer and their alternatives. I have a cow elk hunt in NM in early Oct and would like to know about your experiences and the bullets performances.
Thanks in advance for your time.
