CO ML bullet rules

[FlatlandHunter]

Does anyone know if CO changed the projectile rules for ML's? Only thing I can find is talking about roundball minimums and weight minimums. I know there used to be restrictions as to the length of bullets. I am still feeding my ML's different rounds trying to find the one that groups the best. I know there are no sabots and must be open sights or peep sights.

Thanks for any help.
