Doesn't Idaho need to be all lead? If so the PB wouldn't qualify.

A NoExcuses conical will take out elk easily. Good price too.

Come buy our muzzle loading bullets. They are simply the best available.

No Excuses has been manufacturing quality muzzle loading bullets for more than 25 years. We have literally set the standard for other bullet companies.

New law says Power built are legal in Idaho as of July 2024

Idaho allows the standard lead Powerbelt bullet, just not the Copper jacketed ones. https://idfg.idaho.gov/hunt/weapons/muzzleloader

if you look at the regulations, it says all power belt bullets

To the person that was looking for our rWS 1081s outdoorsman in Ontario stocks them

I am a new guy here and cant start a post but am in need of assistance! Brand new to Muzzy and drew an Idaho Antelope, I know great way to start my muzzy career on a speed goat anyway couldn't get my CVA NW legal gun so ended up going with a Traditions Buckstalker...issue is I have been ALL OVER the planet looking for Caps and Bullets, Muzzleloader.com sent me Schuetzen caps and powerbelt bullets. Caps don't fire and Traditions just told me those bullets are really bad for this gun...I have a month to find RWS 1081 caps which seems impossible and some better bullets ie Federal Borelock or Hornady? Any ideas out there?

It seems that caps are getting harder and harder to find CCI said they didn’t have them produced them for about three years so everybody scares but if you’re looking for rws1081 go to the outdoorsman in Ontario

As of July, you can use Power built bullets and so far the people I’ve talked to really, really love them

I answered to this post 2021, when they only allowed the lead Powerbelt - I did hear that all Powerbelts were now allowed, I am assuming because of the confusion the old law may have created.

I’d still rather hit them with a no excuse. That’s a phenomenal bullet for that type of weapon

Let it be known that since starting this thread, I still have not drawn that damn ML tag in Idaho.

I am sorry first year muzzle loader, drew all three

I've had great success with the great plains by Hornady. I use them out of my inlines and my Hawken and have no issues with accuracy. Maxi balls and all lead power belts are good options as well.

I'm assuming I will be graciously accepting my late season idaho ML tag any day now.

Out of curiosity what bullets are people running for idaho?
I looked into powerbelt lead but they seem too soft for elk bones.
Has anyone had luck with great plains .50 cal bullets out of inlines?

I'd like to find a good shooting heavy non round ball that has enough hardness to not disintegrate on a scapula.

I know people who have used the all lead power belts on elk. I have only taken deer with them so far but that is what I will be using this Winter.

I tried the Great Plains bullet and they were ok but much more difficult to load. I didn’t find them to be that much harder. Either put in the right place will do the job. Just keep in mind it’s a muzzleloader not a center fire so don’t try putting it through the shoulder.

I’ve hunted with people who have taken elk with round balls, maxi balls. Power belts and sabots (before being banned by Idaho). They all did the trick as long as you know your muzzleloader and put it in the right place.
