Hey all.
Even though I own a Knight .50, I have shot it very little and do not know much about inline ML. I'm an old trad ML fella so things are different. Therefore, I am seeking advice on this one.
Last week I picked up a new .50 CVA Optima, 27" barrel with a thumb hole stock for my son. He lives out of state and he wanted me to pick one up for him and to work up an accurate round for it. I already installed the scope. I plan on delivering it to him around Christmas. So, that leaves me a little while to come up with a good recipe for it.
Here's what I have so far to try.
295 grain POWERBELT copper hollow points.
I have some 777 pellets, 50 grains that he gave me last year but they are old and I cannot attest to how they were stored. I have been looking for a new box but things like that are very limited in the nearest town.
209 Primers.
I also have an assortment of what looks to be 240 grain FXT with black sabots, as well as what looks to be 250 grain to 260 grain JHP of some sort. I will need to weigh some of those out to know what I have.
Another powder I have to try is Pyrodex RS.
Any information on this would be appreciated.
