Great advice so far. IME you need to see what your rifle likes. Some rifles shoot most ammo well. Some are real picky.
I’m a huge fan of the partition. They shoot well and do the job on elk and moose.

You won’t likely draw Wy general with zero points. It takes 2-3 to draw general elk.
I would apply for Colorado too and hopefully you draw Colorado. If it’s a 0/1 point unit you could potentially hunt it a few times and Wy 1-2 times in the next 5-6 years.
