I could for the bear hunt. It's a rifle season.

Oh wait! Do you mean the bullet isn't legal in Colorado?

I was wrong about 210grns. Out of a 50cal on Elk i can use 170grn bullet or heavier. I really dont remember shooting a 200grn Bloodline out of a 50cal but ill try that this winter.

I knew you were wrong when you said it, but I thought i'd let someone else point it out.

Next year i'll be using a lead conical almost twice that weight and going half the speed of yours.

They'll both kill.

Darn it. I need to try and get me an elk tag. You guys are making me drool.
What I'd really like to get is a bull tag for PA. There are some real B&C whoppers roaming our north central mountains.
