You said it, "almost too easy" I tried the bor lock, they loaded great and shoot decent, but you gotta keep an eye on them they will work out your barrel causing loose loads and mis fires, it happened to 3 of us one year, and that was between a CVA, an ENCORE, and an OMEGAI've got a CO MZ tag also. I've been shooting Federal BOR Lock 270's over the past couple of months. They shoot great with 777/2fg (85 gr by wt.) and BH-209 (80 gr by wt.). The bullet seats very easy in my CVA Optima - almost too easy. Western Precision irons.

So .50 cal or larger and conicals required. A 300 gr Thor or a big heavy lead conical like No Excuses 420-600 gr.I also have a CO muzz tag this year for elk after 11 years. What do you guys recommend for elk?
Yes, unfortunately, when we found out what was happening we just kept checking with the ramrod that they stayed seated or we re-seated them.You aren't the first person to mention this. "Keeping and eye on them" while out hunting in the field seems problematic. You just check with your ramrod every hour? What happens when they misfire? The bullet doesn't come out the end of the barrel, or does is hang fire? Makes me nervous.
I just got my hands on some Horny Bore Drivers and will test them out tomorrow and see if they inspire confidence that they'll stay seated where they should.
Those 666 gr Terminators raise holy hell on crittersI'd Recommend A 600 GRAIN POWER PUNCH If You Can Find Any!
