In Washington you have to use an all lead bullet. I have found some but was wondering if anyone had used some that were better than the rest. I bought some power belt hollow points but supposedly they are more for varmit-deer than elk. They can be polymer tips, and we can use sabots but they cant be jacketed and have to be all lead. thanks

Personaly I hunt with Patched round ball. Now I may be wrong but I thought in Washington you can't hunt with 209 pec caps so dosent that only leave side locks in flint and percusion .
Some have had luck with lee real bulits.

No you can use an inline as long as the cap(it can be a #11 or musket) is exposed to the elements. WHich does greatly diminsh which rifles you can use. But there are a few out there.

Hi csumerall!

Why do you not use the famous Hornady Great Plains Bullets. They are pure lead conicals with hp and perform really well in the game.

Regards

Another one to consider is:
