I have a older knight that doesnt use a 209 i generaly shot 90gr of powder with a 245gr power belt but i cant get a group. Does anyone know of a better combo to shot. I have kill several but have also missed a few. i would hate to miss a big one. and what kind of range is my gun able to shoot im afraid of anything over yds

That's not even right.. I don't know whats wrong with a Knight ML. It will kill them just the same as a T/C.



I shoot the same gun as you do, it's a Black Knight shooting #11's. I use 100gr. with a 250gr. hornady.

I have an American Knight with #11 percussion caps. I shoot 3 30grain pyrodex pellets, the Knight sabots (260 grains) and mine shoots great!

I'm thinking about bedding my MK-85. They are simple to bed the way they fit in the stock. I'm hoping that will help mine.

From what Knight told me a couple years ago on some questions about my dads extreme 45.

Knight-"Ours will not shoot well with power belts" They recoomended the Red Hot's esp the Barnes or Barnes themselves I agree. However my dads did a ok when I tried the Platnium Power Belt in his ,the Plat.PB 45cal .223gr 100gr loose triple 7 3f or 2 pellets both using win triple 7 209's.

I would throw away the Power Belts. I have a Knight Disc Extreme .45 and shoot the Red Hot's by Barnes and can shoot sub 1.25 groups at 100 yards with 100 grains of 777 pellets.

Have added a .50 Encore and hope that it will shoot as well.

Too much trouble and not really needed - even with BP or subs.

Thanks though.

Same here Pbmp! :grin: :whistle: Only I use 90 gr loose pyrodex. Touching bullet holes at 50 yds consistently, without a scope! ;)

American Knight w/#11 caps. My first ML and still my best shooting one...close range anyway out to 100-125 yds, which is all I need in the woods I hunt.

Have you cleaned it with a good solvent to remove the plastic reside?? Had one do that before after a good cleanning the groups tightened up . just a thought.
