Big Game Hunting > Muzzleloader Hunting
Need lead bullet opinions
Naches Sportsman:
I finally found 5 days in December to elk hunt so picked up an elk tag....
I haven't shot a big game animal with anything except the shockwaves, so am looking at opinions on power belts, T/C maxi-hunter, and other lead bullets you may have.
I have one muzzleloader sighted in with power belts and the other with the Maxi-hunter's but any info you all have on any other lead bullet performance would be appreciated.
Last thing I want to do is shoot an elk and lose it due to shooting underperforming bullets.
Dan-o:
Personally, I love the Harvester 400 grain lead bullet.
Are you in sabot legal area, as long as the bullet is lead?
bobcat:
I'd go with the Maxi Hunters over the Power Belts. I'm sure Power Belts would work most of the time but I believe the Maxi Hunters are more reliable. Although I haven't shot Maxi Hunters in many years. I don't think there's any need to try anything else. The Power Belts are known for being really soft and I wouldn't trust them to penetrate if you hit a shoulder.

No sabots allowed in Idaho

I never shot the maxi hunters but I killed several elk and one deer with maxi balls and they worked exceptionally well. They were plenty accurate and penetrated like no tomorrow. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to them
