Hello from Idaho

I have been shooting & hunting with a muzzleloader since the 1980's but just started shooting conicals a couple years ago, which lead me to this site, among others. I became frustrated with a round ball's performance on elk which is what started experimentation and research with conicals. My first was a 58 caliber Investarms Hawken, shooting the REAL bullet ~410 grs. I was super impressed with it's performance on elk and have since expanded to several other rifles in 50 caliber. I have followed Idaho Ron and Idaho Lewis's experiments & tutorials. I am excited to learn and do more.

IdahoPRB. I will be looking forward to any posts you make on your experiences shooting the conicals. I have shot the REAL in 50 caliber and hope to do some more testing to see if I need a new mould. I may try one of Lee's minnies?

Until Colorado changed the law to .54 cal. with PRB, we have had no problem taking down elk with the .50 cal. PRB.
