Default day of knights

this range session was really last week, finally got time to write the report.
took both my knight Black Knight (usak) and my disc orginal
start with the knight usak. I think someone put an hex on it. last time out, it was completely froze up this time. I lost the #11 nipple for it and did not have an extra. I had to pull the breech plug and as I was putting the nipple back in, dropped it and could not find it.
the disc orginal, still and very tight bore. I tried two powerbelts in it and almost had to hammer them down. CR sabots are tight as well. still tring to figure out why I slugged the barrel at .503 and having so much trouble.
Primer testing.
targets at 50yrds
charge 85grs of t7 3f
bullet 180gr prvi 40cals
sabots CR
first target on the very first shot, found that I had loose scope rings. T7 primers

second target: cci 209m

third: rem sts (I don't remember what the two other holes are from)

I have one more primer I am going to try, I forgot them at home.
play time.
85grs of Blackmag (first time using this powder, looks like app but shifted better)

testing 85grs t7 3f lee .452 240gr (dropping at 260gr) wheel weight lead cci 209m primer


when I got the knight orginal home, stuck breech plug. it was an beast to get out with the orginal breech plug tool. took me for ever. got it out. I ended up putting on of the hex head breech plugs I had for it in it and throwing the old one into my scrap metal bucket.
as for the knight usak, someone a few years ago sent am an 209 plunger for it. I bought the breech plug and going to upgrade from #11 to 209. would of been cheaper to just buy another nipple may be worth it.
