Colorado ML law

Did Colorado get rid of the 2x diameter rule for bullet length?  I don't see it in the muzzleloader section of the regs...

Yes, they FINALLY struck it from the Regulation. The red struck through letters removed that goofy restriction, so any length full bore conical is now legal.

AS APPROVED - 01/11/2010
FINAL REGULATIONS - CHAPTER 0 - GENERAL PROVISIONS
ARTICLE I - DEFINITIONS
#000 – The following definitions supplement the statutory definitions found in the Wildlife Act including, but not limited to, those definitions found in section 33-1-102, C.R.S.
A. General Definitions Including Manner of Take Definitions
10. "Muzzle-loading rifle or musket" means a firearm fired from the shoulder, with a single barrel which fires a single patched round ball, or bullet, the length of which does not exceed twice the diameter.

Here is the official changes to the Regualtions. Everything in red is the changes. You can find the cleaned up Regulation in all black on the Colorado DOW site.
