Just purchased a new Knight Ultra Light rifle, and have been messing around with Thor bullets. I tried the .500s and they simply dropped through the unfired barrel, and out the breech. The .501s were very tight. So after doing some research on the site, I read that BH209 fouling acts as lubricant, helping the bullet slide down the barrel. Since I am set on shooting BH209 and Thors, I took a shot with an old Powerbelt and some BH209 just to get some fouling. After that, the .501 Thors I have slid down the barrel much easier, albeit, it still take slight effort. In seating the bullet in the bore with the factory Knight ram rod, I noticed that the rod tip slightly deforms the polymer tip of the Thor bullet. This was never a problem when I was using the Powerbelts since the tip of the bullet was more blunt and was not nearly as pointy as the Thor.
Is there a ram rod tip out there that I can swap out with the factory Knight tip that would engage the copper part of the ogive of the bullet rather than the tip?
