RE: New KRB7
 
The SS models were going for $265 - I got one. The salesman I talked to said Sportsman's Warehouse was clearancing them out of their entire chain. If you want one and they don't have it, supposedly if there's still one somewhere in the system, they can have it sent to the store nearest you for no charge. I've not got mine to shoot that well yet, but I've also only had about an hour with it at the range and still working on it.
I have some Expanders I need to try, but I think I'll end up shooting either the Gold Dots or the XTP's in a Crush Rib sabot. The bullet will just be determined by whatever I can find around here first.
Good shooting though!

Your creeping up at 50 yards,you may want tolet thebarrel cool down a bit to make sure you get it dialed in properly.

Barnes Expanders, great bullet, great choice,Knight markets them as Red Hot, so you may want to try their brand, since it will come with the right sabot for the Knight. Another bullet to consider, if the .452 Barnes Expanders don't work out for you, is to buy the Barnes FlatNose #45843 in boxes of 20, which is an Expander in .458 diameter instead of a .452, but shoot the MMP Orange Sabot or the .452 CR sabot with it. I haveshot that bullet with the CRwith Smokeless Powder and shot this group (the last target on the PDF, not the Barnes Origonals): http://tinyurl.com/2lteef

I thinkthe Knight Red Hot comeswith the MMP 3Petal Ez load. It is always a challenge and fun to dial in a new gun and get it working. Best Wishes. Chap

Thanks for the advise Chap. I did buy these Barnes under the Knight Red Hot name and changed to the Crushed Rib sabots because they were too tight in my CVA wolf. I saved all the old Knight sabots but the are a 4 petal sabot. I'll give the Knight sabots a try and let her cool down between shots more. Another nice feature of the KRB is that trigger assembly that drops out. Real easy cleanup with soap and water, then blew it out with a air compressor, some Rem Oil, and lightly blew it out again before putting it back in. Thanks again.
