I would run the 275gr with a veggie wad. Recoil is going to be the real deal in that light of gun. :)
Here's video on how to size. With an ignition system like the Knight that isn't as efficient as my gen2 system, I would lean towards a tighter fit to help with ignition consistency.
I've been running an Ultra 7 on my 26" 300PRC. Works great. The CB brake is pretty much worthless though if you shoot with can off. It's not as a bad as no brake, but pretty close.
For the rest of the week, code XLDAPRIL gets 10% off on Arrowhead XLD 40 and 45cal bullets purchased through the website. The code also works for LR Series Bullets (formerly called X-series) and Arrowhead Gen2 Modules. Also, the new scope base and bolt stop are up on the website too.
45cal...

And here's a podcast I did a couple of months ago with Vortex:
I'm going to do a facebook live on the Arrowhead FB page tomorrow (3/26) at 3:30 PM CST. Feel free to hop on if you've got any questions about high performance muzzleloading. Or post your questions here, and I'll try to cover them.

If you're looking for good expansion with a high BC, check out the Arrowhead XLD bullet line. 0.028 thick jackets definitely have expansion issues, especially when you slow them down to the velocities you're going to see out of that Knight.
In my experience shotgun primers are not a reliable way to determining pressure. I'm not saying they can't give hints, but there's a lot of factors at play.
I've run a bunch 45cal suppressed. So no sabot to deal with. I ended up needing to remove every shot (even though I had a funnel to load through). At least back in Iowa with high humidity, if I didn't remove every time bore would condensate and soak my powder. That was all smokeless...
I didn't do a comparison between the two. It's going to depend a lot on whether or not you've got a leaking veriflame. Additionally, the distance from powder to primer is shorter in the Arrowhead Gen2, so that's an advantage for ignition reliability as well. I also use magnum primers in my...
That's because you were comparing it to a #17 heavy varmint contour. The spiral fluted modified sendero contour that I use on my builds is same weight as a HC carbon wrapped.
Yes, full bore 45cal is way to go. 50's are basically obsolete except where you need to use them as required by law (CO elk).
Carbon wrapped is kind of overrated. You can save a little weight, but not a lot . Can't get real aggressive with weight reduction because of the 45cal hole. A...
I bought one a few months back. Been getting a lot of good use out of it. For $50 works amazingly well. I guess they had some issues with the mirror. They actually sent me a replacement even though I never had any issues. Pretty impressive customer service.
If you want to use BH209 in it, you really need this 209 upgrade. The older 209 conversion kits are pretty much junk for BH209. Also be sure to se a mag primer. FED209A or CCI209M.
