Finally got to the range to shoot my Knight 45 elite. I been reading this forum for about 2 months and have learned a lot. Got the Lehigh bp and adapter for bare primers and got some Blackhorn 209. Bought 3 types of 209 primers and Harvester light blue sabots. I'm trying to stay with Barnes expanders 195 gr., have been shooting them for about 15 years with great success killing deer.
Started at 100yds and 110gr of Bh, first group was at 1 inch, so far so good. Increased to 120gr and group went to about 2.5 inches. Wow? Next group came down to 2 inches with 115gr. So then backed down to 105gr and 3 shot group a very impressive 11/16 of an inch, wow!
I will go back in a week or so and dial into zero, and shoot out to 300 yds and see what it can do. Bh is hitting about 2 inches below bull? T7 was dead on with same bullet but factory sabot.
I have zero blow back and all the primers are clean. Fed 209a. Plus these Harvester sabots are much easier to push down the barrel compared to the stock sabots that come with Barnes.
I didn't clean the barrel until I was done shooting, awesome! So much easier.
So thanks again to everyone that helped me through this tune up of my elite. I had a great gun but didn't realize what the possibilitys were. rayer:
