Dick, you asked me what ML I shoot and I told you but what I didn't tell you was that my very first "modern" ML was a Knight Wolverine. That thing was deadly with 80grains of Goex black Powder and a 240 grain Hornady bullet that I told you about. I know that Knight will serve you well for many years to come. Enjoy

That ML will shoot up with ones that cost 4 or 5 times as much as you paid for just the ML. This is the best deal on a quality ML I have ever encountered.

I bought a MK-85 12 yrs ago and it still shoots good. Knight makes a great rifle. Make sure you put some lube on that breech plug......they tend to get stuck inside the breech. NICE GUN PAL!:D

I see you to have scored a new ML...congrats. Knight was one of my choices as well. Looks great good luck with it.

What are your plans for the load?

I am looking at 250gr sst back by 100gr of 777. I'll see how that preforms at the range. I had to shoot pyrodex in the Traditions, it just shot better than the 777. Funny deal these ML, some guns just preform better with certain loads.

Enjoy!

Nice!

Check out Blackhorn 209 powder and see if it will work with your primer setup. Great stuff. I'll never go back to 777 or Pyrodex in my inlines.

A friend had one of those and was sorry he sold it.
It would shoot anything he stuffed down it and was deer deadly accurate.

I shoot the BH 209, great stuff

You will love it. One tip is to shoot it a lot so you get the feel of it. So many shoot one maybe three times and stop.

huntone · Post by **huntone** » Thu Nov 05, 2009 10:19 pm

You are very welcome Dick.

I know you will enjoy shooting that Knight.

.........incidentally,
my first muzzleloader, and I still have it and shoot it, is a " Knight T-5",
a very early Knight, from 1991.

I'm here if you need assistance friend.

bucont. I have a little inside edge on this! Kelly has the same weapon and gave me what he found shoots best so i am starting out with his setup 100 grain tripple seven pellets, 200 grain spire point Shock Wave Sabots and we will see how this old Marine can make her shoot

crazyfarmer · Post by **crazyfarmer** » Fri Nov 06, 2009 5:54 am

I've had great luck with that same combo. I like the 250gr shockwaves better though

That ML will knock the snot right out of them. One thing- when reloading after a shot, keep the barrell pointed away from your face. It is easy to to forget. There might be a hot ember down in there. If it encounters your powder it could cause it to flash and burn you. I too have a Knight rifle. Two bucks and neither took a step.
