    Scorpion PT Gold as range round?

    I’ve been using Harvester’s 300PT gold for all my hunting for 8 years in a Knight LRH and a Master Hunter. Very accurate and deadly on a variety of animals on my Texas Lease. Axis,Aoudad, Fallow, WT and big feral hogs. If it ain’t broke no need to change.

    Harvester Muzzleloading Service

    After several problems with Hornady SST‘s I switched to Harvester’s Scorpion 300 gr PT Gold bullets several years ago. I use their Black Crush Rib sabot, a Federal 209A primer and 110 gr. load of BH209. With my Knight Long Range Hunter. My best 3 shot 100 yd. Group was .297 inches. I hunt in...

    Optima pistol

    Just received mine today. muzzle-loader.com has them in stock. Ordered mine about 60 days ago and they received a shipment from CVA last week. They ordered 600 . Looking forward to building up a load and deciding whether to use scope or red dot sight. Your thoughts and best load selection.

    Optima pistol stocks on a CVA rifle ?

    Talked to muzzle-loaders.com this week and they are expecting delivery later this month on their special order of Optima pistols. I ordered mine a couple of months back. Looking forward to figuring out what optics to use and some time on the range playing with loads. Not sure how long before our...

    777 ffg vs BH209

    I starting hunting with muzzle loaders in 2000 and over the years since I have tried all the black powder substitutes, except White Hot sticks, in pellets and loose form. Simply said, I would not be shooting muzzle loaders for all my hunting today if BH209 hadn't come along. Taking into...

    elk bullets

    I have had really good results with the 300 gr PTGold in all of my 50 Cal Knights. Great accuracy and performance. Our Texas WT's are small, but the Axis and Aoudad are big tough animals, as are our feral hogs and they have done a number on all three. My long time go to hunting load is 110 Gr(by...

    Howdy from Oklahoma

    Welcome. From what I understand there is some great whitetail hunting in various parts of the state. Fairly short muzzle loader season. Had a friend that was hunting near Ardmore this year and the pictures from his landowner were outstanding. Lots of good info available here as well as a wide...

    Win. 209 sticking in breech plug.

    Use a Q tip and bore paste to polish primer pocket.

    Weigh your powder.

    I hunt in West Texas and I have been weighing all my loads of BH209 and storing them with bullet and sabot in Lanes tubes. We hunt primarily from box blinds and most of our shots are 125 to 150 yds. Each to his own, but I'm far more concerned about hitting a big deer etc at that range than...

    CVA Leaked the new Paramount Muzzleloader

    Not ready to switch to Powerbelt,given all the relatively new bullets on the market, including Harvester’s white lightning. Knight’s headspace issues are easy to solve. I’d be willing to look at the Bergara rifles.

    Muzzleloader scope??

    I keep a watch on SWFA’s Sample List and have recently picked up a Kahles and Swarovski 1.5 x 6’s with 30mm tubes for less than $500 as well as a couple of older Nikon Golds in the same power. They are great scopes and much better optics than the newer “muzzleloader” scopes at current prices...

    Plunger gun and BH209

    The factory in all its publications tells you in no uncertain terms not to use 209 in plunger guns, rifles or shotguns.

    Harvester Scorpion vs Barnes

    Over the years I have used both and they are fine Bullets. In my Knight’s the Harvester PT Gold 300gr is very accurate and performs well on whitetails and the large feral hogs we have on our lease.

    Knight Long Range Hunter bolt question.

    My LRH has been glass bedded; converted to bare primer breech plug; added shims to primer pocket to eliminate blow back and changed bolt to Mountaneer style. It will consistently shoot a MOA group with my normal hunting load of 110 gr of BH 209, CCI 209M primer, and Harvester's Black Crush Rib...

    Knight LRH Accuracy and breech plug advice

    I have 3 Knights, a LRH, a Master Hunter and a Disc Elite. I was able to buy Lehigh bare primer breech plugs for all three before they locked up with Knight. They are clearly a different alloy than current Knights.. I've tried various weigts and types of Barnes, Hornady,, TC and Harvester...

    Is a spin Jag worth it?

    Absolutely. I have one on my short starter and range rod. They are really well made and will last forever if you takke care of them. You don't need one if you have a Lehigh range rod with the handle that swivel. I understant they have a new cleaning -loading jag on the market that I want to try...
