One of my favorites you cant get prepackaged with sabots is the Barnes 45-225gr XPB made for 45 Long Colt. You can get it in a 250gr also which is the same bullet as the Barnes 250gr Expander MZ.

Another bullet i really like is the Parker 275gr Ballistic Extreme but its far more fragile. Its best if kept in the boiler room and avoid high shoulder shots.

I dont own any more Knight 50cals though. Mine are 45cal. I shoot those bullets in my Ultra Light Arms 50cal or the BE without a sabot in my 45s. I should probably update my sig line since im down to just 2 Knights now and one is just a barreled action.

Get some cheap bullets like the 250gr XTP first. No sense in buying premium priced bullets right off the bat. Get in some practice with something that wont cost you a fortune to shoot. The XTP will work just fine for deer too.
