RE: If not Powerbelts or Sabots... then what?
glob3006,
I' ve only been into this black powder stuff for 3 years - but I' ve talked, researched, experimented, & shot a lot in that time. I learned a lot from the guys at PRBullets......Cecil over there is a wealth of info.
The Great Plains 385gr conicals load real easy in my Knight inline - really no different than the powerbelts. The Green Mountain barrels on Knights tend to be a little more " open" than most other guns - so the Great Plains will probably be a little tighter in your rifle, but not much......I doubt you would even need a short starter to get it going down the barrel.
