If your gun does not have QLA or something like it, loading the Hornady FPB is problematic. You have to set the butt plate on the ground, line the FPB up straight and give the short starter a hard whack.

The powder charge I used is 90 gr it shot so well I have not even tried any other.
My hunting friend shots a Knight and they shot real good for him but he had a hard time loading them so I made him a false muzzle in a block just the size of his bore and it eliminated his loading problems. He runs them through the block at home and it sizes them just small enough to start good and still lock up over the powder good. Lee

I have heard of people starting their bullets at home, then pushing them out so that they have rifling marks on them. Then when you get to the range or hunt, you just line up the riflings and they start easy.

I have not tried it, but when I get my new LRH, I may give it a try.

we played with that to if you reline up the rifling marks and the rifling it works well but getting that alignment is kind of a pain. If you push a round ball that's been flattened to just a bit bigger than the bore into the barrel a couple inches then push it back out from the other end and measure it across the largest part so you can bore a nice smooth hole that size in a brass block and bevel the edges then you can start the FPB nose first push it through the block. Once it is down to where it is just the right size to cut the rifling it seems to start fairly easy. Lee
