it would cleaner than the Knight too. I had one of those Wolverines... I never shot it. I couldn't get around short the fore grip of the stock was on it. The "bluing" looked more like flat black spray paint.

I was considering the Knight Disc Extreme until the optima deal came along. Actually, it's not an Optima deal. It's a CVA deal.
The Knight has a lot of features I like. Timney trigger, and GM barrel being two of them. I get annoyed with companies that don't offer a LH model though. I don't care if the bolt is on the right, but give me a stock with the cheek piece on the right side, or no cheek piece at all. A lot of CF guns are the same way. Us lefty's need guns too. Any lefty looking for a GPR. Mine is for sale. |
I am not to sure that the 250 gold dot will hold up to 2100 fps.I shot a deer on Monday with one with my NULA with 41 grains of 4759 and the bullet did not hold up well.I shot it in the head at about 25 yards and I found the base of bullet in the neck.It looked like a gas check with a thin coating of lead and weighed 24 grains.I realize that I did push it a little hard as it was probably doing about 2200 at the muzzle.ripshod

That's good info ripshod. I'm not surprised. It is, after all, a pistol bullet designed for the .45 Colt and you were really pushing it at 2100 fps with a very close shot into bone. That's a real torture test, but I'll bet it killed her pretty dead.
I shoot them at around 1600 fps from my short barrel Omega X7 and 1800 from the longer barrels of my Lyman Mustang and Green Mountain LRH sidelocks. |
I am not upset with what happened to the bullet.I have used 250XTP bullet for years at smokeless speeds with similar results.I would think at 75 yards that the Gold Dot would pass through on a shoulder shot.ripshod
