Round two after moving the target out to 50 yards. I had loaded up some tubes with 120gr of Pyrodex RS and wanted to try that with the same bullet/sabot combo, not bad but I wish I would had brought more pellets to try at 50 yards. I ran out atthe 25 yard target. I'm happy with the first shooting session with that KRB. The only downside for me is trying to drop the primer in with my club fingers with that scope mounted.......but it only takes one, right? Next round will be with my favorite bullets 250 and 300gr Barnes Expander MZ's.
Your creeping up at 50 yards,you may want tolet thebarrel cool down a bit to make sure you get it dialed in properly.
Barnes Expanders, great bullet, great choice,Knight markets them as Red Hot, so you may want to try their brand, since it will come with the right sabot for the Knight. Another bullet to consider, if the .452 Barnes Expanders don't work out for you, is to buy the Barnes FlatNose #45843 in boxes of 20, which is an Expander in .458 diameter instead of a .452, but shoot the MMP Orange Sabot or the .452 CR sabot with it. I haveshot that bullet with the CRwith Smokeless Powder and shot this group (the last target on the PDF, not the Barnes Origonals):

I thinkthe Knight Red Hot comeswith the MMP 3Petal Ez load. It is always a challenge and fun to dial in a new gun and get it working. Best Wishes. Chap
