I have a Knight Wolverine with a stainless 22 inch barrel. There is a Traditions 1x32mm scope on it with quick release rings by Traditions. I was having trigger problems, so I downloaded Knights manual and attempted to fix my problem. Well I am happy to say the fix was good. Who ever owned this rifle abused it. I purchased it cheap, and I could tell they played gun smith with it, as a lot of things were wrong with it. But I got it back to almost normal.
One thing that happened today has never happened before. The rifle has a #11 cap technology, which is fine by me. I never saw the need for them 209 primers all that much. The load was 85 grains of Triple Seven 2f, and a 250 grain .452 XTP in a MMP HPH-24 sabot.
I had shot and something did not sound right. So when I c oc ked the rifle to look at the nipple area I got a heck of a surprise.
The nipple split off even to the face of the breech plug. I have never had that happen before. The hammer of course held the nipple in place and no harm no foul as they say, but this really was strange. Good thing I had other breech plugs and nipples so I changed over to a new set up and kept on shooting.
I was only shooting at 50 yards since it is a 1x scope. But overall I wanted to see how the 250 grain XTP did in this rifle.
I was swabbing with spit every other shot. And to end the day I left the rifle fouled and for a third shot took a poke at the little green square to the side of the bull.
I am guessing this is a 50 yards tree stand rifle for sure in my woods. That 85 grains of Triple Seven 2f and that 250 grain XTP has a pretty good bark to it. Should be all that is needed.
