Guy's I've worked up some loads with my Knight Elite .45 and have come to the conclusion that it likes 120gr BH209(115&125gr also nice) under 200SST(also tried XTP's with same results) in HSB sabot with W209 primers. This gives me very consistent 100 yard groups right at 1.35" all day long. At 200 yards I get VERY consistent 2.7-2.8" groups with no wind on 3 different range sessions.
I've tried knurling up to .401/.4025/.405 and the result was right at 1.55-1.7"@ 100 yds and 3.5"@200yds.
Tan MMP's opened groups to 3"@100yds...
FWIW, Scope is solid, stock is free floated and torqued to 35in# like my others. I have the Lehigh bare 209 BP.Trigger is @2#
Groups are perfectly circular with no vert/horiz stringing.First foul shot goes 1/4" high with a 20fps jump in velocity, the following shots of each group are right at 2375-2380fps(55deg)with only 5fps dev. so I know the load is "dialed in "...
I have a couple other .50's that have been sorted for years and I'm shooting them consistently sub MOA on the same days with more recoil and less BC so I don't think it's me or the wind...
What kind of groups do the rest of you guys see @ 200yds with Knight .45's and SST's??
I feel there is something I can tweak to get sub MOA but I'm just not finding it... Maybe need the crown touched up? I don't know.
ANY ideas would be appreciated as I'm scratching my head.
