That's why I didn't listen to whoever picks up the phone. I wanted to go to a more reliable source. His phone number is in the email. |
I understand that, and I was going to use them this year. The problem came up when asking about the non expanding XP bullet.
He said it's legal in rifle season, because it still falls under the ML laws that doesn't say the bullet needs to expand. This carries over to the rifle season. With the same thought the 50 cal bore size bullet for elk also carries over to the rifle season. All I did was put the information out there for everybody to read, and showed the proof. You can even call Bob to back it up. It's your choice to do as you please. I don't plan on arguing over it. |

We cant use the XP here either. Ive gone round and round with them over it because a hardcast is legal and expansion is virtually nil.

No, we can use it in rifle season for deer size game.
We can't use it in ML season, because it's a sabot, and can't use it in rifle season, because it's too small. Hopefully, the elk part in rifle season will change after they talk about it. It should. That bullet will floor an elk. |
Our laws include both firearms and ML seasons. The legal bullet definition is the same for both here. The law was made to prevent FMJ military ammo from being used.

Colorado likes to think they have a primitive ML season.
I guess they call an inline using BH 209, 209 ignition, and a full copper Barnes bullet primitive? |

No, we have to use a full bore .50 in ML season.
In rifle season with a ML we can use a .50 sabot for deer size game. Elk requires the bullet to be at least .500. Either sabot, or full bore. We have different laws for deer and elk. It would be easier if they put everything in one group, and just call it big game. |
