I'm thinking the fast twist Lyman with some heavy lead.
Why? Because its a fine rifle and a 535 No Excuse will be very accurate and very deadly. You won't need to track anything and it's respectful to the game. |

You can pick both gun and animal :s4:
Probably would use a Lehigh .458-305 gr. (45-70 bullet) in a HPH-Orange sabot...  1900 fps. with 1220 lbs energy @ 200 yards... I could live with that... |

OK then I would go with the #4 Renegade after elk and shoot what ever I wanted from it - conicals or sabots...

With all this talk about Traditional guns and hunting lets pick one to hunt with and explain your reason for choosing the one you did.
Your choices are : 1. Lyman 54 cal 1:60 twist GPR 2.Lyman 54 cal 1:32 twist GPH 3. Tc Hawken 54 cal 1:70 twist GMB 4 TC Hawken. 50 cal. 1:24 twist Sharpshooter barrel 5. TC Hawken 58 cal 1:70 twist 6. TC Hawken 50 cal 1:48 twist 7. Renegade 45 cal GMB 1:28 twist 8. Renegade 50 cal 1:48 twist 9. White English Sporting Rifle. .451 1:20 twist Douglas barrel 10. Pedersoli's Rocky Mt Hawken 1:65 twist 11. Pedersoli Kodiak double barrel 58 cal 1:48 twist 12. Pedersoli's Gibbs .451 1:18 twist So which one and why ? I also don't see the Missouri River Hawken fast twist. Again testing with the paper patched bullet. For your question. I would pick #4 to shoot my Paper Patched bullets at elk. I have a couple #7 but they are 1-30 not 1-28. I use them for deer and antelope. I would LOVE to have the chance to shoot an elk with my 409 gr paper patched 45 bullets. Ron |

Going out on a limb, I would pick the T/C with the sharpshooter 1-24 twist barrel. I have heard they are exceptional conical shooters, so it would be good for deer or elk. Also I like the overall idea of the rifle.
