So I recently got a guide gun and 7 boxes of ammo for $400. 4.5 boxes of Fed. w speer 300 grn, 3/4 box of rem 405's, and a box of rem 300hp. I already reloaded for 45-70 for my contender so I have a supply of Bulk rem 405 bullets, and I cast Ranchdog 350 grn gc bullets out of wheelweights(362 grns). I have 5744, rel7, rel15, 3031, blc2, varget, biggame for powders that I can think of off the top of my head. I like 5744 and reloader 7 for 45-70 and have gotten good groups with my contender loads. took a nice Blacktail buck with the ranchdog bullet and 28.5 grns of 5744 last year.
So I need to put together an elk load should I use the bullets I have or get something else. I would like to use powder I already have. The elk I hunt are Roosevelts in S.W. Oregon. Well I would like to hear of any proven elk loads. Thanks
