I don' t think it' s legal here in Colorado. The regulations say it must produce a min. energy of 550 ft. lbs. at 50 yards. The Federal catalog says it 158 grain Premium handgun hunting bullets has 535 ft. lbs at 50 yards.

I know some one will talk about handloads but try & convince the Game Warden that as he' s riding up the ticket.

If you want to hunt elk, get a 30/06.
