Knight Lehigh Disc Elite conversion
Finally got it together with the help of Sabotloader. First, my bolt got out of alignment and then my 7/16 socket was too thick to fully seat the plug. So I took a 3/8 bit to my Knight wrench and made it about a 1/4" deeper. That wrench now works like a charm with the Lehigh made Knight plug.
The conversion cycles Winchester primers beautifully, but will not extract a CCI primer. Have to take the bolt completely out to get it to extract a CCI. I popped off a Win primer and it came out pretty dirty. Dirtier than I had expected, but doesn't bother me. Both the CCI and Win primers took about the same pressure, which was not much at all, to close the bolt. I may swap out the Elite bolt with my Master Hunter bolt and see if that makes a difference in cycling the CCI primer.
Hopefully I can get it out to the range to sight in before the January Ohio blackpowder season starts.
