    Best 50 Caliber Elk Hunting Bullet for Accuracy & Terminal Performance

    Good thinking to stock up before they were gone. I'm right there with you on the eyes. Tough to focus on the sights and the target at the same time these days

    Best 50 Caliber Elk Hunting Bullet for Accuracy & Terminal Performance

    Sure can't argue with that for killing power. What distance do you zero at with the 350 grain bullet? How does that 350 gr FPB do on elk?

    Best 50 Caliber Elk Hunting Bullet for Accuracy & Terminal Performance

    276 yards is a pretty good poke. How did the bullet perform at that range?

    Best 50 Caliber Elk Hunting Bullet for Accuracy & Terminal Performance

    Yeah I'm not sure what to expect in Nevada either. I'm really just trying to get my gun setup to provide the maximum potential for effective range that it is capable of. I know the iron sights are a big limiting factor. Trying to figure out what the gun is capable of and what would be the...

    Best 50 Caliber Elk Hunting Bullet for Accuracy & Terminal Performance

    Thanks Sabotloader. I see on your Dinger Farms picture you are using T7-2f and your ballistic chart you are using the BH120. Do they both perform about the same or do you have a preference? Besides the trajectory, do you feel the 265grain or the FB 460grain performs better on elk, especially...

    Best 50 Caliber Elk Hunting Bullet for Accuracy & Terminal Performance

    5 miles Back ; I take it you like the heavier bullet but just don't suggest shooting beyond 100 yards? Is that because of the bullet trajectory or do you just not think it's good to shoot beyond 100 yards with any bullet?

    Best 50 Caliber Elk Hunting Bullet for Accuracy & Terminal Performance

    I definitely like the flatter trajectory of the lighter bullet but I also like the ease of loading the No Excuse bullets and the extra weight for penetration. Hoping to get opinions from others like yourself with more experience. Thanks

    Best 50 Caliber Elk Hunting Bullet for Accuracy & Terminal Performance

    I've been going back and forth trying to decide which direction to go for bullet choice for an upcoming elk hunt. My hunt is in Nevada where the only real limiting factor is that you are required to use open sights. I am shooting a Knight Ultralight in 50 caliber. I have shot the 265 grain...

    Knight Mountaineer vs Ultralite

    Burlap; Are you shooting the BH209 powder with the 300grain bullets? Nice looking rifle sabotloader. I like the nitride finish!

    What type of bullet / load do you shoot with that?

    What is the best distance to work up a load for open sight muzzleloader?

    Thanks for all the info Mike. Do you think the Williams FP is a better way to go or is the NECG just as good? Also a little off topic, are there any advantages to the 209 Primer system over a #11 Cap for loose powder applications other than when using BH209?

    What is the best distance to work up a load for open sight muzzleloader?

    This is all great information. It seems like the sight is the biggest limiting factor. I thought maybe an adjustable peep sight might be good for different ranges but I don't think that really works for a hunting application. I like the idea of the PBR shown above. With practice a guy should be...

    That makes good sense to me

    What is the best distance to work up a load for open sight muzzleloader?

    It looks like you may have asked what state and Sabot or conical but it doesn't show up on this site for some reason. If so, I am in Oregon but hunting Nevada this year. Open sites. Going to try both sabots and full bore bullets to see what I like best. I'm looking to get the most range I can...

    What is the best distance to work up a load for open sight muzzleloader?

    I just got a Knight Ultralite. I heard good things. Hoping I can do well with it. I've heard good things about the CVA Optima as well.

    What is the best distance to work up a load for open sight muzzleloader?

    I think I like the idea of the temporary scope to be certain it's not my eyes that are the problem. I appreciate the input and opinions. Thanks!

    What is the best distance to work up a load for open sight muzzleloader?

    The scope sounded like a good idea just to help fine tune a load. The main reason I asked the question was that I'm not sure that shooting at 25yards would give a true picture on how your load is grouping. But also with open sights at 100yards it might be hard to figure out if the load is not...

    What is the best distance to work up a load for open sight muzzleloader?

    Temporarily mounting a scope is a great idea. Thanks!

    What is the best distance to work up a load for open sight muzzleloader?

    Typically with centerfire rifles you might shoot groups at 100yards to work up a load. Shooting a muzzleloader with open sights, what is the best range to shoot to accurately work up a load?
