    Member Knight Shooter

    I bought a muzzleloader from Knight Shooter today. It was exactly as advertised and he went out of his way to make the deal happen. First class man. Don’t be afraid to deal with him. Thanks again Bobby!

    Best short range deer gun (inside 150 yards)

    Whitetails at 150 yards and in, easy choice a 357 Maximum. Very little recoil and muzzle blast. No need for a T. rex load even for large whitetails. Deadly accurate.

    Encore 357 Max barrel

    Now that Starline is making brass you can get ammo from Steinel or Reeds. For those that handload pistol bullets work great on whitetail out to 200 yards. I picked up Remington SJHP Bullets in 180gr the last time Remington ran a batch. MGM built me a 20” full bull on a 1:14 Excalibur blank...

    TC Maxi Ball/Maxi Hunter For Elk???

    For my Colorado elk hunt I tried Thor, FPB and Federal Bor-loc. The Federals printed the best. Complete pass through at ~100 yards. Performed well. I used a Remington mls 50 caliber with the boltnose ignition system. 77gr of Blackhorn 209. Couldn’t be happier. Seating the bullet hard on a...

    Johnson Ultimate Muzzleloader ?

    Maybe I’ve misunderstood the relationship of the primer holder and breech plug flame channel. It was my understanding that the seal was between the inside face of the primer holder and the end of the breech plug flame channel. The balance of the breech plug was just for primer holder alignment...

    Knight Full-Bore .50 Suggestions

    If you don’t want to go to the expense of an adjustable sizing die get the Thor sizing pack. I tried, Thor, Hornady FPB and Federal Bore Loc bullets. The Federals printed the best so that’s what I used for my last Colorado bull hunt. 100 yard shot 60 yard recovery with a broadside shot. 77gr...

    Johnson Ultimate Muzzleloader ?

    The original breech plug still looks pretty clean so maybe the problem is with the Winchester brass that came with the rifle. Next trip to the range I’ll try out the new Starline brass. I cleaned out the flash hole and primed them with magnum match primers last night. I’ll give T7 pellets a...

    Johnson Ultimate Muzzleloader ?

    I picked up a used UF Ultra with a bunch of accessories. The rifle had not been taken care of very well but was priced accordingly. Just a little pitting near the muzzle both internally and externally. Aluminum bolt plug has a big scratch. 40x action with the 40x trigger. Walnut stock with...
