I was going to remove the plastic tip I talked to Federal and the tests they've done without the plastic tip have been very good resultsI don't think the Federal Bor Lock would be legal, since the plastic stays with the bullet.
Not trying to rain on your parade, but I think the plastic cup makes it not legal in Idaho.

According to the Idaho fish and game if you remove the plastic tip this bullet is legal it is not considered a siboNot trying to rain on your parade, but I think the plastic cup makes it not legal in Idaho. From the Idaho Fish and Game website: https://idfg.idaho.gov/hunt/weapons/muzzleloader
What's legal is, "A muzzle loading rifle or musket which...
4. Is loaded with a patched round ball OR a conical, unjacketed projectile comprised wholly of lead or lead alloy. No sabots.
5. Is loaded with a projectile that is within .010 of an inch of the bore diameter."
You can call, and ask them specifically about the bor lock. Let us know if I'm mistaken.
Interestingly, the lead powerbelt is legal, (pictured in the link) even though it has a plastic ring, but the plastic falls away at the shot. Not that I'm recommending it for elk.

I read the literature from the link that renegadehunter had in his reply. It states quite clearly the bullets have to be lead, no jacketed. I had a package or two of those Federal bor-loc bullets in 270 grain and shot some them at targets in front of a sand berm. When I dug a coupe of them out of the sand I could have sworn that they were jacketed. This would make them not legal. Maybe I am thinking of another bullet but I'm thinking not.

Okay according to Federal ammunition this is not a Sabbath, I went into the Idaho department of fish and game show them the bullet and that the plastic tip can be removed very easily they read literature from federal ammunition without the plastic dip it meets the requirement of Idaho's muzzleloading law it is bore size and that's one of the main things Savage are not bore sizeI read the literature from the link that renegadehunter had in his reply.

I think I'm just going to go with powerbelt the 348 grain , I've been shooting the powerbelt 295 for many years for antelope hunting you got a pretty good accuracy out of them I fit antelope out to 80 yardsThose are the ones, T. Accurate suckers and easy loading.
