RE: Pellets vs. Powder
I thought about purchasing pellets, but went with the 777 powder. Which I've been happy with in my Knight Wolverine 209. I like tweaking my loads with different combos and actually have been quite happy with 90 grains on my last range visit. So the pellets may limit you. Another thing I like about the powder is that I can adjust the loads for the wife or kids when they shoot. I guess you could just use one pellet, but like I said I like tweaking different loads and they can shoot 60 to 70 grains.
The last outing at the range I forgot my cleaning jag (Knight jag broke and had another ramrod at home) and fired at least 4 XTP's and 2 Dead Center's saboted bullets, then made another 3 rounds with Powerbelts and had no problem seating the bullet, but it was starting to get a bit tough.
For the record I have limited experience with my Knight, it's one year old with several good range days. So I'm sure I'll try more combos of powder/bullets in the future.
