went to the range check guns and bullet/sabots
 
started with a mk-85......this is my #1 gun for my hunt that starts Thursday in Maryland.....I have 300hp/xtp mag bullets and the gun was sighted for them with harvester crushrib sabots so I kept the same bullets but I used the hornady sabots high pressure .452 that said they were for 300mag and 240 mag bullets....cci mag 11 caps/ 90 gr pyrodex/ 50 yards

Most of the Knights I've sighted in prefer either 80-85 grains of powder...

I'd say your gun is shooting a little to the left, not that the deer should notice.

I'd like to see a picture of one of those sitka deer, if that's what you're after. And, like I said, the deer won't know the difference. Put it on him and let it rip.
