Knight LK 93 .54 Load
Having trouble off loading this rifle so I just might have to keep it for a back up. I know the loads depend on the individual rifle but what is a good starting point bullet wise using RS and percussion caps. This is for whitetail by the way.

I would recommend a 50 caliber 300 grain bullet and 120 grains of RS if that will shoot accurate in your gun. I have taken a number of deer with a 54 caliber System One and this load it really hammers them. I used a purple 54/50 sabot. I use a 50 caliber Endeavor now and it is difficult to find a load for it that has the knock down of the 50 cal. bullet in the 54.

The 54x50 sabots from MMP are great IMO. A good cheap bullet is the Speer 50cal 325gr UniCor or the 335gr Rainier HP. Knight used to ship that Speer bullet and those sabots with 54cal MKs. Its a great match for any Pyro or T7 speeds.
A 435gr conical is plenty for whitetails but heavier weights might shoot better for you.
