Yeah, thought so. The .475 is still too small for the dumb Colorado laws.

I guess the .54 is the only way to end up with a bullet .500 or bigger.

Seriously, look for a MK85 in 54cal. They typically sell for much less than a 50cal. They are also slightly lighter. The barrel OD is the same as a 50cal but the bore is larger (obviously). The balance is fantastic for a full length barrel and all MKs have true Timney triggers. The Speer 50 325gr HP is a near perfect match for Triple7 or even Pyro speeds. The cheap Rainier 50 335gr HPs should do fine also. Alexander Arms uses both in 50 Beowulf ammo in the 1800-1900fps range.

A step down is the LKII Wolverine. The trigger is not quite as nice but still really good. I think they even made some in SS.

I found one, but i'm hesitating. What if Co changes the law, and makes the .50 legal? I prefer all the options a .50 has.

Ive shot 452, 458s and 50s in sabots from my 54-120. They can also shoot 44s but i never use them. The 458s are SUPER tight in Harvester 54x452 sabots. The Barnes 300gr 458SOCOM seems to be the only one i can get down my barrel without popping a blood vessel. :D

A Lee .454 lube sizer fixes that issue with most bullets.

Lehigh makes a 50cal Bloodline but i think it is a 350gr. It might be a bit long to stabilize at slower speeds...Im not sure since i never tried them.

I'm still looking at Hawkens, so I may not have any decisions to make if I go that way.

Isn't it sad that the .50 177gr PRB is legal in all seasons for elk, and a 300gr .50 sabot isn't?

They need someone more knowledgeable making the laws.

But again the .500 cal bullets that are being made would legal if you knurl them to your bore...

Hold on for a few days I have a few of these coming...

Those are too good looking to shoot.
