A couple weeks before MZ season I shot my Savage w/Pacnor 45 and it loaded fine. About two week later when I loaded it a day before season to check I had to hammer down the bullet. There seemed to be a rough spot about 15 inches down. I clean with 50/50 alcohol and #9 between shots. For short...

Hog hunt recommendations My wife interested in hog hunting in Texas. Anyone have any recommendations? We will be vacationing in February 2020 for a couple weeks and she want to shoot and eat some wild hog. Don’t need a trophy just a couple of good eaters. We know it might not be a like a...

Looking at opinions/ experience with terminal performance for these two bullets. I have five .45 cal and I am trying to decide which is a better choice for my situation. Shots could be 25-250 yards Velocity range is 2300 FPS to 1500 FPS (mostly whitetail does in southern Mich.) which creates a...

I have been making my own vent liners for over 5 years using HoloChrome screws. I have been drilling them .031". It looks like the opinion is .033" is the optimal for BH209. I have some .033" drill bits and could drill them out easily. I have five .45 and 5 .50 cal guns and I haven't had any...

I have a knight disc extreme .45 cal and would like to switch to a thumbhole stock. Boyd lists a .50 disc thumbhole. Does anyone know if this will fit my .45 disc extreme?

I have 5 .45 Cal muzzleloaders and would like to try some sabotless shooting. I live in Michigan so BH209 is what I use. I am shooting a custom Savage with Pacnor barrel full form so I am familiar with shooting sabotless. I don't have a smooth form doe, but a 250BE fits down my Knight bare plug...

I have about ten muzzleloaders (shooting BH209) and a SavPAc (that I shoot sabotless fullform) I have been trying to solve getting them to shoot to about same point of impact after siting for a day or more and dirty. These guns are shooting 1”-2” moa. The sabotless seems to do ok but the sabot...

I have five .45 muzzleloaders that are shooting the 200 sst for wife, kids family and grandkids. They have not hunted much but I anticipate that this year they will be doing more muzzleloader hunting. We have never shot a deer with this bullet so I don’t know how the 200 sst performs. I think a...

In a previous post (viewtopic.php?t=31499) I asked for suggestions I to improve my LRH accuracy. I still can only get about 2-3” 100yd groups with the .503” oversize barrel. I have 5 other muzzleloaders that shoot around 1” groups. I have basically given up for now on this LRH and was...

Now that I am retired I am going through all my muzzleloaders and doing the improvements this board has discovered over the last 5-10 years, like shimming breech plug. I have a CVA Optima that the action is loose on the hinge pin. What is the best way to tighted it up? I stuck a cleaning patch...

My wife bought me a Knight Long Range Hunter from Cabelas when they where closing them out. I think around 2009. I have only shot about 100 shots because I have quite a few muzzleloaders that shoot better. Most groups are 1.5" to 3.00 inches.(I have an excel log if needed). The barrel is on the...

The gun shoots about 1moa with a few fliers. The stock only has one screw so the stock moves a little. I would like to know if I can get bedding compound to stick to the plastic stock. I have done a little reading and it seems like they have mixed results. Any ideas? Thanks

BH209 Cleaning question-opinion Between me and my family I have about 4 -.45 and 5- .50 caliber muzzleloaders. It seem that some of them change point of impact more than others after they have set or been cleaned. I have just started to work on solving this situation but thought I would seek...

Anyone use an Automatic powder scale for BH209? Is it safe?

I have not been on the forum a lot in the last year but I thought there was talk a while ago of being able to buy the 200 gr SSt .40 cal without the sabots in bulk. Can you get these bullets anywhere in bulk? thanks

My wife bought me a Knight long-range Hunter thumbhole stock from Cabelas this summer when they had them on sale for $400. I am now playing around with it and noticed that the stock is touching the barrel. I have searched some of the posts on this forum and it seems that the stock can either be...

My wife bought me the LRH Thumbhole that Cabelas had on sale. (Like I need another one) But I can?t return it because it would hurt her feelings. So, I think the scope I am looking at will have an 50mm AO Objective. Any idea on what height rings I need? I was thinking Med. Thanks

Someone wanted to know how these shot. Worked good for me the other day. I think this will be my hunting load for this gun.

Got an order of the new Hornady 250 FTX(.452?), 265 FTX (.430?) and 325 FTX (.458). I like the looks of the 265FTX. Seems like it would have a good B.C. The Optima seemed to like it as well. My Omega shoots under MOA with 200 SW so these bullets will have shoot a little better. I think Hornady...

Couldn?t resist ? at the deer show in Lansing last week. Never had a knight before but always wanted to try one of the Green Mountain Barrels and Timmeny triggers. I think this will be my 23 year old daughters gun. NEW -.45 Knight Disc Extreme SS fluted barrel, Leupold mounts, Alum hard case...
