RE: Now that I have the MH Disc Extreme
Did two breech plugs and an adaptor came with the rifle? I only got the one breech plug and twenty of the primer jackets with some bullets. Of course there was the breech plug wrench and allen wrench.
Replacement ramrod.. I might go with a Super Rod from Cains Outdoors. I have one on another rifle and it is a very good ramrod. It seems very strong and well made.
recommendations of bulletes and sabots.. is a good question. Knight would tell you 250 or 300 grain Knight RED Hot sabots, and 100-120 grains of loose or 100-150 in pellets.
starting loads.. anyone's guess right now.

Simple for Replacement Ramrod, XS Power Rod, Knight sells them:
http://www.knightrifles.com/ProductDetail.aspx?id=900746
or the RMC Rugged Ram Rod:
http://rmcsports.com/rmcsports_cfmfiles/product.cfm?msection=1044
Most Knights shoot the Barnes bullets marketed by Knight, the Ultimate Slam or the Knight version of the Barnes MZ called the Red Hot, see
http://www.knightrifles.com/catalog.aspx?catID=BulletsSabots.
These are excellent bullets. I would read the manual and see what Knight recommends you shoot these bullets at, usually 2 777 or pyrodex pellets. I am sorry I don't know what FPJ means for primers, Federal?
Best Wishes with your new rifle. Your on an adventure. Chap Gleason

When I said FPJ I meant that red plastic jacket that Knight advertises. Thanks

RE: Now that I have the MH Disc Extreme
use the FPJ, the conversion isn't that great of a setup. your not supposed to reuse the jackets after firing. i use the knight tool to load jackets but you don't need it. just lay the primer upside down on a table and push the jacket over it.
the barnes bulets tend to shoot the best as the other posts have stated.
i like the extenion rod that came with my master hunter, don't recall what model rod it is.

RE: Now that I have the MH Disc Extreme
I am kind of curious after reading this post as to what actually came with the rifle as accessories...
I received;
one breech plug
one loading jag
20 red primer adaptors
six bullet/sabot combinations
DVD
instruction manual
allen wrench
breech plug wrench
four scope screw fillers
does that sound right. I was kind of surprised today when I got the sabots and bullets out.. I thought.. cheap buggers, six bullets is all? I think I got someone's return rifle....
