well it sounds like they somehow missed the second breech plug and adaptor in my box. Other then that I have the rest of it. Those bullets that came with it shot pretty good today. I wonder what they are?

I think old elk hunter bought his rifle from a different store at a different price. This may explain why he has the non full plastic jacket adaptor and breech plug in his package and you don't Dave. I got exactly the same accessories you got.

Ok, well that might explain it. I think next time out I will test some Buffalo Bullets and some Nosler. These red plastic primer holders have been reloaded three times now and show no sign of wear. It will be interesting to see how many shots I get off one. I did buy a new box of the primer jackets too...

Is yours the fluted MHC barrel? if so what serial number... I am somewhat concerned because mine is a 4 diget number #14?? - seems this late in the game they would be far beyond that...

Just a thought

Ditto except I purchased mine in February..I have never ever been more satisfied with a 299 dollar rifle purchase

Oh, that long stem breech plug is the new Power Plug or something like that that doesn't leave a crud ring and allows mag loads to be burned quicker more efficiently. Toby Bridges said this about the Knight Power Stem here: http://www.hpmuzzleloading.com/Technical3.html


Now, here's a bit of good news for you Knight .50 caliber DISC Extreme owners. Purchase and install one of the "Power Stem" breech plugs that Knight developed for getting full consumption of 150-grain charges of loose-grain Triple Seven in their .52 DISC Extreme rifle...and you can pretty much eliminate the Triple Seven crusty ring altogether with any of the No. 209 primers. In a .50 caliber bore, the tip of the 1 1/2" long stem sits at about the 70 grain level of a 100- or 110-grain charge of FFFg Triple Seven. And by igniting the powder charge that far forward must do something to the burning characteristics of the powder. And while I did wipe the bore between shots, I could not feel any indication of the ring when shooting with the stemmed

So you have a regular breech plug and a power stem.
