New federal conical is Colorado legal! Seeallsight=NO

txhunter58 · Jul 9, 2014

Finally got an answer from the Colorado DOW. 1 out of 2 ain't bad? Here is the reply he sent me:

"the verdict is in, The Regulation Review Managers and the Leadership Team have reviewed the new Federal B.O.R. Lock MZ system bullet and have determined that bullet would be a legal bullet to use in a muzzleloader during the Colorado muzzleloading seasons.
In regards to the See All Sight for a muzzleloader it has been determined that this is not an open or iron sight and therefore it would be illegal to use during the muzzleloading season in Colorado but could be used on a muzzleloader during "any rifle or other associated methods" season for big game

Thanks for the getting the answers and letting us know. That new Federal bullet sure is interesting.

Texas Hunter, I second the Fallguy's motion. Thank you for doing the necessary legwork involved to keep us informed. I was interested in purchasing a See All gun sight for use this September but believe that I will back off on that idea after reading your data. Thanks again, Cow Tag

No link, just an email I received in answer to my question last month. Here is the full email:

David, the verdict is in, The Regulation Review Managers and the Leadership Team have reviewed the new Federal B.O.R. Lock MZ system bullet and have determined that bullet would be a legal bullet to use in a muzzleloader during the Colorado muzzleloading seasons.
In regards to the See All Sight for a muzzleloader it has been determined that this is not an open or iron sight and therefore it would be illegal to use during the muzzleloading season in Colorado but could be used on a muzzleloader during "any rifle or other associated methods" season for big game

I hope this helps,

never known the DOW to alert hunters about any specific bullet or sight. I think we are on our own and they figure word of mouth will get it around

Would any one know of a retailer that has these new Federal bullets on inventory and ready for distribution to the general public? I would like to make a purchase. Cow Tag
