My favorite & most accurateout of the Knight is the Barnes 250Expander and the 285 Spitfire.
There ya go. Another great bullet from Barnes is the .458 diameter rifle bullet called the TSX Flat Nose, part number 45843, I am gonna shoot them in my Savage next year. Great bullet. Exactly the same as the .452 Expander except cheaper ($17 for 20) and .458 diameter, which I find shoots best in my Savage. This is a 45/70 bullet designed for a rifle and designed to shoot between 1500 to 2000 fps, i.e ML velocity. As Bryce Towsley says about the Expander, it is like "shoving a beer can all the way thru a deer"---picture that in your mind's eye as a description of wound channel. Bryce is MLer editor for American Hunter and has hunted MLer for over 40 years, FL, Slidelocks, inlines everything. He knows the deal. He also likes Sierra 45/70 bullets in an inline.
