powder and bullet set up
I have a Knight MK-85. I was wondering if any one has tried using 150 gr. of 777 pellets and a 295 gr. or 348 gr. powerbelt bullets. If so how does it work or has any tried anything close to this.

I may be wrong, but I think 150grain of triple 7 is too much powder for that gun. Remeber, triple 7 burns 15 to 20% hotter than pyrodex. The 150 grain max load is for pyrodex and not for triple 7. I personally wouldn't go over about 120 grains of triple 7.
I shoot a .50 Knight Disc Extreme with 100 grains of triple 7 and have been playing with the power belts, Knight red hots, and dead centers.
