I finally found my Knight 50 caliber LK-93 (I thought it was an LK-II) with the 2.5x20mm Simmons Scope. I wanted to see if it would shoot roundball. I decided since the other shot so well with 70 grains I would use that in this rifle also. I was shooting 2f Schuetzen Black Powder, swabbing between shots, pillow tick patching, and moosemilk as the lube. Well I was pleased to discover that this thing really shoots roundball well. Although I had the homecast bullets in .495 diameter bring used, and a couple of them for some reason leaded really hard. But I can not say that is the low hit. As I was not walking up there each and every time.

Now granted this is 43 yards. But for where I hunt these rifles, that is a long shot. I have never had to shoot that far out of the stand I use these rifles in.

That hole in the center is roundball. The ones up high marked in blue are the conicals. For some reason are 450 UC Short Mags with a felt wad shot high. I was going to shoot more but the football game was going to start and I had a rifle to clean.
