I am going to Colorado elk hunting this fall, and I need info on what bullets work the best on Large game. I am currently shooting hornady 240 gr. xtp sabots. I have a cva optima, and am shooting 100 gr of 777 powder. I am getting 1" groups at 100 yards, but know I cannot shoot sabots in colorado. I am not interested in Power Belts, I already tried them and they do not shoot well in my gun, plus I've heard of penetration\fragmentation porblems with them. Any info will help. Thanks in advance.
There are several options:
1) Harvester Saber Tooth 300g:

2) several guys shoot bull stop conicals
3) heavy conicals such as Buffalo Bullets or TC Maxi Hunter.
Your gun is 1:28 twist, so I believe the Harvester Saber Tooth will work better for you and won't fragment when driven at ML speed. Best Wishes on your quest for the best bullet.
