During ML season I am required to use a full bore lead conical - I certainly do not want to but no choice. I had Bull Shop Dan cast me some .503x350's a couple of years back.

Yes, but it would have taken much longer... mainly because of the other animals that she followed out...

I love the taste of elk. And there is something about the hunt for them that's special.

I'm glad that you found her Mike. That's a nice muzzleloader that you have there!!! Looks real familiar.

The Ultra Lite is a great rifle!!! The best! But this one failed me a bit it shot the bullet a little bit low! That has to be the rifles fault????

But you can confirm that they are great. You are shooting the most accurate one I have seen.
