I've had the Knight .45 for about 5-6 years. I've worked up a load that is a tack driver out to 125yrds. Next year I'm workin on 150yrd+ shots. I'm in a shotgun only state,so this gun is my long range weapon of choice. Its a very fast,flat shootin round. As somebody said "Shotplacement Rules". Knock on wood - I've never had a deer move farther than 25 yrds after a shot with the ole .45.
