irishcajun you made a good choice in rifles.I would recommend taking the bolt apart each time you clean the gun. I've taken mine apart several times and never had a problem.You'll like using the 209 primers.I shoot a 250 gr XTP Bullet with Knight sabots. I use two 50 grain Pyrodex pellets and it shoots very good in my Knight Disc.Hope you enjoy you new rifle. Ruger Redhawk
