RE: New Kahnke
 

Went to the range yesterday, boy was it windy! I had to shoot it. The groups are ok, I was using my benchrest rifle rest and the k2000 has a curvy forearm and didn't want to rest well in it. I was shooting t7 as the pic says and the 90gr. of powder did the best. I think the 100gr. shots would have been better if I had used my sanbags.I have alot more tinkering to do. I did a spit patch in between shots. It lasted about 9 rounds before it got reallly fouled. This gun handles very sweet. I have alot of other sabots to try and bought some Nosler Partitions today. Going back to range hopefully Saturday with my sandbags. By the way Cayugad, I used your 50/50 windex and alcohol to clean with, done great!!!

that is some good shooting ... especially for a windy day. People do not realize the effect wind has on some of these projectiles. It will only get better...

glad the solution worked for you.

I think the groups will tighten up when I use the sandbags, I could not get a good steady hold in my mechanical rest. This is the first time that I have used T7. How many shots do you take with just using aspit patch between shots?

With my Knight Wolverine LK-II I have had range sessions of 40 shots with just spit patching. With my Black Diamond XR I have to break the striker down after about 15-20 shots and wipe the rifle out real well or the striker gets all fowled. On the Disc I have shot 15 rounds and then I like to break that down too and clean out the bolt area a little.

As long as your rifle will fire and you can seat the projectiles, technically you can shoot until your tired. Triple Se7en is a clean burning powder. If you're not getting a hard crud build up, you have it made. Just keep shooting.. :D

I just bought a new Dead Shot rest by Caldwell and I really like it a lot. Although I have to make some modifications to my platform in the spring..

gcatlett, some nice shootin' and a great first outing.

RE: New Kahnke
 

Here are some results from the range today. I shot 300 and 250sst's using a mmp hph24 sabot. The 300's group the best!! I tried the Nosler 300 partitions and it did not like them. I'll try them in my Omega. Not too bad.

First group of 300sst

That is some nice shooting. It looks like your rifle is a keeper..

I have just built a site for Kahnke Gunworks.It's kahnkegunworks.com.I see you guys are interested in his guns. He makes only Muzzle Loader rifles and pistols. I need to get him to sit down with me and write some spec on his guns. Anyhow he does have a site up again. If you can think of any improvements I can make let me know. My email is [email protected]

Thanks
