Default RE: All lead sabotted load for Washington State

Those Precisions may be too loose for you older Knight ML. The former produced Bighorns were slightly wider bores back then. Knight has since gone to a smaller diameter bore.

I would suggest you purchase the 375 gr Buffalo S.S.B instead. They now come with a thicker sabot. Should make a nice fit for your rifle -- plus that S.S.B.bullet is stillused by a couple ofML bookauthors for elk-hunting today & has a pretty darn good co-efficiency.

The Precision bullets are fine & the Elite is similar to the S.S.B. But you may need to swap the Precision plastic sabot for a MMP HPH-12 for a tighter fit.

Here's some info on the bullet. The S.S.B discussion is about half-way down the page. Good interview by Wakeman there.
