A friend brought it to my attention a few months ago. When was the last time you hunted with your Knight Disc Elite. I actually couldn’t remember. So I started thinking about this. You can look back at post’s of mine on MM about how much I praised the T/C triumph since BH209 came out. The reason was how accurate and compatible it was with that powder. Don’t get me wrong the Triumph is still a great Muzzleloader. Actually by far the best one T/C makes
in my opinion. I'm just wondering why i put the Knights away for awhile.
Fixed it for you.
I don't own a Knight but I definitely would. They have a great reputation as being a quality built and very accurate rifle. My buddy Jim and I went shooting last Sunday and he brought out his Disc Elite. He was trying it out with BH209 and had a few hang-fires. He switched to 777 and had no further issues. The main issue I saw with that rifle is it had horrible blow-back. So much so that there were a few burn marks on his scope and they were even more evident because he had a silver scope mounted.
SWThomas: I can certainly relate to the blowback issues in the Elite. I was getting scope burn with Fed209a's.That's why I was so interested in the Ultimate Slam breech plug retro-fix (which I understand isnot going to be offered
.) However, I switched to the NFPJ plug 2 months ago and had very good resultswith BH209.. so far. No hangfires in 3 range sessions and very little primer fouling / blowback. Of course,YMMV. After 15 shots:
