250 grain Barnes Expanders and 85 grains of Goex 3f is my standard hunting load in my 22" barrelled Knight Wolverine II. When I can not find them I switch and use the 240 grain T/C Mag Express XTP's. So far (I have not even own the Knight hardly a year) the deer have not cooperated in the bullet testing department. Maybe this year.. Good luck to you and everyone else this hunting season and above all, be safe out there. No deer is worth an injury or worse to you or anyone else.
