I hit the elk lottery in PA... Got a call Saturday from the Game Commission telling me I got a cow tag in unit 12.(one of the best units). Due to age and health this will be most likely my last elk hunt. Thinking of using a Sharp's 45-70 and boolets and black powder that I have made... Looking for advice on a good choice in boolets for elk...I have moulds for 525 Postell, 500 Gov't, 405 RN, and 350 Gould HP.
Think I have a couple more, but they were Lee with smaller lube grooves that I do not prefer... Not sure of what range and I know that any of these will be more than enough for Wapiti...I will be doing range work to see what accuracy I can tweak for each boolet...not sure how my homemade BP will compare to Swiss, but anxious to work up some loads and run thru the chronograph...
I would appreciate your suggestions for choosing the best hunting boolet for elk... thanks in advance for your help.
