A work buddy and I both drew Colorado cow elk only muzzleloader permits this year (2014). I have read a lot about PowerBelt bullets, weight of bullets, etc. I have a TC Impact 50 cal. I have worked up to 120gr. of Triple 7 powder, that I am going to use with the .270gr. Platinum. I have also read elsewhere that the .270gr will not be enough bullet weight for elk. I am going to be limiting my shots to 100 yards and less. In Colorado, scopes are not allowed on muzzleloaders, so I have installed the PeepRib Peep Sight. Along with a fiber optic front sight. According to the PowerBelt ballistic chart, should be in the 1505+ velocity range at 100 yards with a KE of 1358+ ft. lb. Maybe a little on the light side on elk for some. But this is the load that I have chosen. Leaving on Sept 9th. Season opens Sept. 13th. Stay tuned.
