Default New loads

I' ve found that 265 gr. Knight Swift A Frames work well in my Knight Magnum DISC w/ 100 gr. of Pyrodex pellets. How many of you, like me, after trying a few different brands and loads find one and don' t try newer products? I' m not saying this is the absolute best combo for my ML, but it is excellent and works the best out of all combos I tried.

Yep that' s me

I got my MK-85 in ' 94 (wow I can' t believe it' s been that long), and I did my load workup then. I ended up finding that the best load out of my gun was a Knight 260gr sabot with 100 gr Pyrodex. It shoots moa accuracy, so I' ve never tried any different. I use the copper jacketed hollow pt bullets, and the perform excellent. I' m sure there are other combinations that would work well also, I just don' t have the time to try [:' (]

I' m with eldeguello,

Good is never good enough. I' ve tried bunchs of combinations and I currently have 4 new bullets sitting in my room waiting for range time.
Of course, I' m not really sure that I NEED to improve my best current penny-sized, 3-shot group - but what the heck...................any reason to make smoke is a good reason!
