Default Knight Red Hots part one

Got to try out my new Nikon Pro Staff today, along with the Knight Red Hots. What a nice combination those Red Hots 250gr and the Crushed Rib sabots. After getting the scope dialed in I changed targets out. Target was the Shoot and See in 6 inch diameter. First group of three about 3 inches high at 50 yards. I thought I missed shots 2 and3 but they are there.

CVA Wolf
250gr Red Hots
2 50gr Pyrodex pellets
Remington Kleen Bore primers

That is an excellent group you shot there. Also that scope is my favorite, as many know. They are an excellent value. With that kind of projectile, you will get excellent penetration and expansion. The Knight Red Hots are nothing more then a Barnes Expander. Again, a great bullet.

Nice shooting. Looks like you've found a good load for that rifle. I've been meaning to try the Barnes or the Knight redhots for some time now. I just may have to pick some up before heading to the range here soon.

Thanks, Same thing...Barnes MZ Expanders and Knight Red Hot. Both made by Barnes. I found them cheaper packaged under the Knight Red Hot packaging.
