Hi Folks, I’ve been quiet as of late. I’ve had to sit out a hunting season due to surgery. I should be GTG for next year and I look forward working on my loads. I decided it was time to pull some old purchases out of storage and put them in my office for a while. Knight fans will recognize...

I found these at Bass Pro yesterday. I had to take a second look as I’ve only seen the Blue Packaging for the last 15-20 years I’ve been buying them. I size checked about 10 at random and the all came in at .299-.300. Looks like the same product, new packaging. Perhaps better if they can...

Perhaps I’ve been sleeping on this? I was at Cabelas last night and they said they haven’t had 209s since August. Is this happening everywhere? If so, I’ll be stingy with those I have left.

I saw it on a Auction site. I have sold off all my 54 stuff but thought I should have one. It sure is light and I’m thinking it may make a nice CO Elk Gun. Serial number 4. That’s low. Hope it shoots.

Regulars may recall that I’ve been diligently working on preparing two rifles for a NM Elk Hunt. The challenge was to shoot to 300 yards. Well, I returned last night and will happily share that the work was not needed. I had a 85 yard shot. I did clip the front shoulder blade but the 545 lead...

Shooting long range is hard to do. At least for me it is. My hats off to those who can do it consistently with production rifles. Short story is I’m trying to prepare for a shot up to 300 yards for a NM Elk Hunt. Finding a place to shoot beyond 200 is a challenge. Today, I went up to a CRP...

I tried many primers many years ago and came to the conclusion that the Win 209s shot just fine and we’re readily available. I shim my Knight primer pockets for minimal to no blowback. A few days ago I shot a new flat and it was dirty as if I had no shims. after a lengthy cleaning session I...

FYI.. This is my second ( and probably final ) Ballistic Gel Test. My goal was to see how various elk bullet options would perform at the slower speeds likely associated at the POI associated with a longer shot. I used the ballistic table to calculate estimated speeds and found that at a max...

Just to be sure the Fury and Harvester failures were legit, I shot a SST. 1295 FPS at impact. These work well at the tested speeds. Retained weight was 248 grains. Sorry about that he reflectionon the scale photo. It ws 248 grains.In.

Two shots 1330 and 1290 FPS ( at impact ) into the Gel 6” x 6” x 23”. Neither was captured. I believe both escaped out the bottom of my containment system. I was shooting from a slightly elevated position. My shooting partner saw one skip off the gravel road well beyond the gel block. My...

Two shots into the Gel one at 1278, the other at 1310 FPS ( at Impact ). Both fails in my book. They sliced through the Gel unopened and were found on the backing.

1290 at Impact. Great performance.

I need the Swivel Studs for a Knight Stock. What I really need is the custom front stud / rod retainer. I suspect any swivel stud with the screw on it would work for the back. I'd also like a trigger gaurd and the accompaning screws. Does anyone have anything avaiable? Thanks, LB

This one is pretty cool. It allows you to tweak each of the variables separately. https://bergerbullets.com/twist-rate-calculator/

Nosler Partition .452 300 grain. Bullet was shot at 50 yards into 10% ballistic gel. Impact speed was 1305 FPS.

Hornady SST .452 300 grain. Bullet was shot at 50 yards into 10% ballistic gel. Impact speed was 1293 FPS.

Hornady FTX .458 325 grain Two Bullets shot at 50 yards into 10% ballistic gel. Impact speed was 1217and 1238 FPS. I’m impressed.

Fury Star Tip 2 MZ .458 300 grain. Two Bullets shot at 50 yards into 10% ballistic gel. Impact speed was 1214 and 1279. Neither one expanded. I was hoping to use this bullet but will now need to change my plans. In both shots the bullet left the gel with little damage and was found imbedded in...

I’ll never challenge Ron on the terminal performance testing front but I do have some results to share. Background: I have a New Mexico Elk Tag on my pocket. It’s a difficult to draw unit and for the first time in my life, I’ve contracted an outfitter for my Son and I. Since this is a open...

Hello All, I'm going to attempt the capture of a 300 grain spire point bullet in 10% Ballistic Gel. The bullet will be moving at approx 1300 FPS. Any idea of how much ( depth ) one would need to make the catch? Thanks
