I am getting this years hunt together and deciding on archery or muzzleloader for elk in Colorado. I know Colorado you can't use Pyrodex Pellets in your inline, but what about sites and bullets. I currently shoot the Encore 50 caliber for whitetail in Ohio. I use 100 grains of pellets and 245 grain Powerbelt bullets. What do I need need to step up to for elk and deer if I get drawn? I was thinking at least 300 grain bullet but should I step up to 150 grains of powder or something in between 100 and 150. I know I have to switch from pellets to powders but is there any burn factors between the two I should be aware of. Like, is 2 pellets equall to 120 grains of powder or anything like that? What has worked for you hunters with experience.
