Conical Suggestions
I am blessed that my in-laws live in Colorado so next year I will be fortunate to go out west and elk hunt for the first time. As some of you may know, CO does not allow sabots so I need to find a good conical for elk and I need some suggestions. Don’t know why but I’ve never really hunted w/them so I have very limited experience with the exception of shooting some Maxi-Balls. I will be trying some 385g Hornady Great Plains I know but what else would you guys suggest? I know Powerbelts work for some people but I would like to say away from them if possible.
I’m going to be using this load (as well as taking the scope off my Genesis) for deer this year simply to “test” and get some confidence in the load. I know it’ll be overkill, but I’m thinking big picture. These are obviously big beasts so what kind of charge are you elk hunters using?
FYI, I’ll be taking a Genesis and a 50cal Hawkins.
Thanks in advance for all help/suggestions!
