Hello all, I just found this site yesterday.
I have a few questions relating to my limited entry permit and how it affects my muzzleloader.
I will be hunting both mulies and elk in Idaho.
Idaho requires loose powder, no sabots, no 209's, lead or lead alloy bullets and a partially visible(at least) cap.
5 or 6 years ago I purchased a traditions lightning fire .50 cal inline.
I was using 2- 50 gr pellets but do not recall bullet weight but do recall using sabots.
I have 6 weeks to work up a load but I am starting from scratch.
I am looking for advice on- bullet manufacturers for lead/lead alloy.
What loose powder cleanes up easiest-is most dummyproof?
Probably using CCI primers unless compelled otherwise.
whaddaya think?
