RE: why use 150 grains of powder?
My brother-in-law spoke with the son of the owner of Knight and was told by him that the knight rifles are set up to shoot 3 50 grain pellets with light bullets 180 grains. We have shot alot of different loads through ours and our older Wolverines like 100 grains, but the newer guns (one disc rifle and one disc extreme) like max loads far better than anything else. We can get very good results down at 100 grains but the drop in bullet is about 5 inches more at 150 yards with 100 grains vs 150 grains.
They actually recomend 120 grains of loose powder or 150 grains of pellets. The more you put to them the less drop you get this is the reason alot of people load them up.
