RE: I'm looking for a few opinions
I think that accuracy in a muzzleloader is mostly a matter of bullet selection and consistant loading proceedure. My first inline (Tradition Buckhunter Pro .50) wouldn't shoot 300grain .44 sabots at all. When I sighted it in for the first time I was shooting at a standard shipping pallet with a piece of cardboard stapled to it (about 4'x4') at 100 yards. Using a 4X scope and shooting from a sandbag the impacts were literally random. I shot 5 times, hit the target 4 times with no bullet within one foot of another. My Dad was with me and he has always shot 460 grain Great Plains FP. I decided to try a group with them and the next 3 shots were 6" low and left and in a 2" group. It refuses to shoot anything else.
I really hope my new Knight isn't so finicky. I'm going to try PR QT .40 235grain bullets and work up from 80 grains of Triple 7 3FG.
Good luck and enjoy,
Mike
