Don't they allow sabots now too?

Kind of sad compared to how it started out.

Muley, yes they do, the regulation book is kind a vague on the subjuct so I wrote the game commission and they said they're legal.

Yes it is rather sad that it has been progressing the way it has. I can't say I'm not in favor of some of the changes because I like to use a solid lead conical in a few of my Flinters that shoot them well. I would much rather use a Maxi-ball in my .45 Hawken flintlock (when I use it) than a .440 RB for deer. I have even considered tricking out one of my flinters with a peep but havent made up my mind on that one. I don't use saboted bullets, I don't care if folks do...I just don't use them personally. I hope that they keep the season as "flint ignition only" but who knows. Nowadays it's all about revenue and if they think it will draw more money I wouldn't be surprised if they begin allowing sidelock percussion rifles as well.

An all lead conical is ok. They were shot in the 1800's, but good grief. Not a sabot!

I'd love to have a real traditional flintlock season in Colorado. I'm not a big fan of flintlocks, but i'd sure get to like them if we had a season for them.
