In my part of the state we have several early and extended antlerless deer seasons. Decided to make a go of it with open sights, been along time. I have an ongoing shoulder issue. Doing fine with everyday task, but my days of shooting big boomers are probably over. Decided if I am going to limit range with open sights and need to shoot lower power loads, I might as well use my .54 Knight MK85. I still have a lot of practice to do my groups weren't great.
Knight MK85 .54, Williams WGRS peep, factory front
80 grains T7 FFG
MMP Purple Sabot
Speer .50 325 grain JHP
The 1st shot cut the bullseye. Immediate follow-up is the high left shot.
90 grains T7 FFG
MMP Purple Sabot
Speer .50 325 grain JHP
The 1st shot cut the bullseye. Immediate follow-up is the high shot.
I will probably add some paint to the front sight. I was having difficulty picking it up on the dark background. The MMP's were tight, but doable. I've got use to the crushrib's. I'll probably stay with the 80 grain load, 90 was starting to get bothersome.
