I would caution you to consider the trade before you jump on it. It might be a great deal but I traded a Revolver and a Shotgun for a motorcycle that I seldom use now and sometimes wish I had the guns back. Be sure that you will not want the P90 back as you will pay more than $300 to get another one. Take a breath and think about it.

You know ive thought about that Keith. I am going to replace the pistol eventually with a target caliber 22. The way I look at it though a gun is an investment aswell. You can more thanlikely get most off your money back out of it, not always but most of the time. Thanks for all the advice All.

Those 250 gr Shockwaves should shoot good, here is a better price on them for you. It is hard to say what the rifle will like actually. Also the Knight Red Hots should shoot well, and you can try some XTP's as well.

As for the powder FFg or FFFg that is the grade of powder. FFg will work fine for you in the Knight. The way it works, FFg is for rifles and shotguns from 50 caliber on up. FFFg is for ,50 caliber and below. Many people shoot both grades of powder in their rifles.

The shockwave >>>TEND<<< to shoot thru a deer and NOT expand leaving littleblood trail. They are one of the most accurate bullets available. I tried them in my Knight Disc when I was bullet searching 4 years ago, and they extremely accurate, however they were extremely hard to load. They did NOT have Crushed Rib sabots back then and I could get them down the barrel even after swabbing. The Kight Red Hots are excellent. XTPs as Cayugad said are very good.

Discounting shipping costs - the bullets you chose will cost a bit over 62 cents each.

An alternative would be two packs of http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item.asp?sku=00072H15045BRfor 10.22 and a box of http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item.asp?sku=0000345160for 16.54. Total for 100 projectiles - 26.76 or about 27 cents per.

Or you could go with the green crushed rib for .44 and 100 of the Speer .429 bullets for just a bit more.

Nothing at all wrong with the bullets you chose, just like to see people consider the economics. You might want to shoot a LOT!

Wow guys so many options, my head is spinning. Is it cheaper then to buy the bullets and sabots seperately? And thanks for the heads up gleason. Only reason I bought the gun was for deer hunting, well primary reason.

DaveChandler, I use the same sabot and the same Hornady XTP 300gthat Underclocked does. They are great for practice, some use them for hunting, I use Nosler Partitions 300g for hunting because the Hornady tends to separate the jacket from the bullet producing less penetration. The economics are important, because you have to get comfortable with your ML gun, if you shoot $1 bullets you will NOT get comfortable with your gun. So buy some Hornady, sight in with them, shoot a lot with them and then go over to your hunting bullet about 2 months before ML season or you can do what I do I buy 300g Hornady XTPs and 300g Gold Dot and 300g Nosler Partitions and they all group about the same in my rifles so I tend to use the Hornady and Gold Dot for paractice and the Noslers for hunting. I also will after this season switch over to Gold Dot for hunting and just shoot Gold Dot out of my Knight Disc, my TC Omega and my TC 1:48 FL. I use the 300g because they have more down range energy and shoot thru the deer for an excellent blood trail, 240g and 250g do NOT shoot thru the deer based on my experience. Chap
