Bryce; I know from reading your article in magazines for decades that you are a no nonsense guy. Maybe with your connections…you may know some experts that could answer my question. I have shot 3 elk in Colorado with my TC ENCORE muzzleloader using 348gr copper /plastic tip powerbelts pushed by 150 grains of granular triple 7. None of the bullets exited. Point being…can I find someone with some balls that will answer if I’m ok going up to ??? 160, 175 grains? I called TC as well as the Powerbelt folks and they were useless. I want those bullets to “exit” so I have a chance for a blood trail. 2 of the 3 elk ran 50-75 yds and had no blood trail…so it might be a matter of time before I lose one. Thx in advance for your help.
