Anyone want to chime in on this matter? Am I wrong? :biggrin:

Here is a 2011 suggested Knight load chart. They are a little different than most esecially the 52

If you look at the 52 cal you can see that you can load them up even with a heavy projectile.

I'm sorry Sabotloader, I meant BH209 powder company's load restrictions, not Knight.

I shoot a 300gr bloodline with 110gr powder out of my 52 LRH and it's deadly accurate anywhere from 100 to 300 yards. I've noticed that gr of powder charge seems to be the most accurate and enough amount to be sure it all ignites.

You have to remember that all powder companies max loads are calculated to be safe in all guns - so their recomendations are all lower than most manufactures. Bh does not no what weapon or condition of the weapon you might be shooting so they error on the safe side. According to Hodgdon 100 grains of T7 is max also.

So that is why you have to go to the rifle manufactures recommendations.

Also realize in most case 140 grains of BH produces less peak pressure than does 120 grains of T7-3f. Because BH is progressive it does produce more total pressure but less peak pressure.

Well here she is. I have had quite the learning curve over the past two days being that I've never owned a Knight and had some trouble with how things worked. But thanks to sabotloader helping me and allowing me to bug him I have gotten through the basics I believe. (Thanks Mike). I was concerned with this gun being too long for me but it handles very well and it is a fine gun assuming it shoots, which I'm sure it will. I apologize for the pictures, my camera is not the greatest so these picture were the best I could do.

oh yeah, that looks a hell of a lot better than the picture knight supplied! Looks great, enjoy it!

I agree. When I pulled it out of the box the first thing I noticed was that the stock was a darker green and I thought it looked nicer.

I know I am old fashioned and behind the times but see that looks like a hunting rifle!
