Knight 45 cal. Blackhorn209 powder. bolt & breech plug converted to LRMP shooting Hankins modules. Fury bullet to bore, veggie wads, sized to 20 Lbs of ramrod pressure
I bought a new Knight 45 cal this year and have not been able to get a decent 100 yard group, most have been 3" or bigger. I tried several bullet types and powder charges and could not get a decent group. also changed scopes changed scope mounts and still nothing. Last week when putting the barrel back into the laminated factory stock after cleaning and just before tightening the action bolt I noticed movement with the barrel, it slide front to back almost a 1/4" and was rocking side to side. I ordered a Marine Tex epoxy kit to bed the action, also free floated the forearm. drilled out the action bolt hole then installed a Raven eye custom bedding pillar. let it sit for the 24 hour cure period. The following Sunday I took it out to the range for testing. This Knight is now shooting a decent group close to 1/2" MOA at 100 and I think I could of done a bit better if I had concentrated a little more. I'm impressed with how well this bedding job improved my Knight.
