Those are GREAT, must get some!

Will have to do some blackpowder shooting sometime, maybe at Issaquah Sportsmans club.

Are you a member up there? Have you ever been to Tacoma Sportsmans club? I have a membership there it's pretty cool. Not as nice as Paul Bunyan. But it's close only like 20 minutes from Orting on backroads to Tacoma Sportsmans club

BTW I was up in Hancock today mountain biking and saw 36 elk with no antlers. I did a lot of searching but didn't find any sheds. Hopefully tomorrow. Saw a herd of 22 up high, that's the biggest herd I've seen up there it was cool. All in a single file line.

Also, might want to add a "D" to your thread title.

Aaaand there's coffee on my keyboard.

It sounds like you already have this all figured out, but just to echo others above, with a full-house elk load (>100gr powder, >240gr bullet), it shouldn't feel like a gentle push.  Ka-BOOM is what it sounds like from a distance, but I just hear a loud crack when I'm shooting.  You should feel like the recipient of the bullet is going to get hurt.

As an aside, a cheap 240gr bullet with a single pellet lit up by a musket cap is a great plinking/practice load.  It's really nice not to have to measure and pour powder when you're just sending some lead downrange.  Less charge also means easier swabbing between shots.
