Hi everyone, new member.
 

First of all sorry if this is the wrong section, I couldn't find a new join area.

My name is Tyler and I'm joining to hopefully find some good loads to shoot through my knight disc elite .50 so any help would be appreciated.

The site looks great and I will be digging through some threads looking for some load starters. Thanks.

Tyler

Howdy Tyler. I see you're a night owl like me.

Welcome to what I think is the best muzzle loading forum to be found on the net.

I don't own a Knight and never have (trying to rectify that). But I have a number of .50s. In my opinion you can't go wrong with .452 caliber 250 grain Speer Gold Dots/Deep Curls or Hornady XTPs in Harvester H5045SB sabots over anything from 85 to 110 grains of GOEX, Pyrodex, or Triple Seven. My most accurate loads seem to fall in the 85 to 95 grain range with most powders, and that gives you plenty of oomph out to 150 yards.

Is that gun new to you, or have you shot it before?

Thanks. Yeah I didn't reall expect too much of a response this late at night lol.

I bought the gun brand new when they first came out. Honestly haven't shot it much due to my job (usmc) but I plan on getting it really dialed in this winter. The gun has probably only got 30 rounds through it? Same with my fathers (identical to mine) I saw something about the lehigh conversion and it looks like I should invest into it.

welcome pilgrim!

Welcome Tyler, and don't mind Semisane. He knows a lot about muzzleloading but he stays up late at night cause he doesn't have anything better to do at night.
(sorry Semi - couldn't pass up a shot that easy.)

Welcome Ty

Welcome Tyler!! and thank you for your service to our Country!! I am new to this ML site also, but I like this site the best. I have been shooting black powder for more than thirty yrars, but when the in-lines came out, it became all new to me!! The only advice I cangive you is, "keep your powder dry" in both work and play.

Welcome!

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Im having a little trouble searching for a good load to start with but its mainly due to the terminology, all the abbreviations and what not (not up to speed yet)

We own a 2,000 acre corn/soybean farm with some creeks and one major river so i do alot of field shooting so range is a major plus, but i also do a fair amount of woods also. This M/L will be stictly a white tail gun. Does anyone have a list of common used loads/primer combos etc.

Sorry guys trying to read all i can and catch up.

Tyler

P.S. this year we shot 245gr powerbelt copper series, with 110gr of 777 and a cci 209 primer.

Im not too happy with the grouping but all my testing this winter is going to be at the range with a rest so i can get a good zero.

Welcome, you will get a few different answers here on the loads but most of these guys know what they are talking about!!:D

Tyler welcome aboard and thank you for your service to our country. The powerbelts are meant to be shot with lower powder charges than with what you tried. Back it down to around 85-90 grains, being that your shooting loose powder you can tweak it for that bullet type. 250 grain Shockwaves with 100 grains loose powder is also a popular load, only I use Remington Kleenbore 209 primers. The place you hunt sounds outstanding and should be full of big ol bucks. I have been trying to find one like this.

Thank you for your support of the service members.

Awsome info thank you, thats exactly why i joined the site. Taking notes :happy0001:

Welcome to a real vault of great muzzleloading info and just good folks. I have an older knight mk85, it loves 260 gr nosler partition-45cal. I use either 100gr of black mag3 or triple 7. I use the hph12 sabot. mighty accurate and dropped the one deer I shot this year in its tracks.
