    .45 cal Full Bore Recommendations - Elk Load

    Will the XLD have proper performance at speeds lower than you have posted? I am shooting a UL so I assume I will be around 2000 FPS. I did order a sizing pack to see if they would fit without sizing and the larges were to small. Thanks for the responses.

    Knight ultralight MZ reviews?

    YGreat gun…. Don’t miss that deal. If it not a Colorado legal gun, not only will you need different breach plug and bolt, but you may also need holes drilled in the front of the barrel for your sights.

    .45 cal Full Bore Recommendations - Elk Load

    Last year my hunting partner and I both hunted elk with our .45 cal muzzleloaders and both took an elk. We were shooting 240 grain Maximus in blue crush sabots over 75 grains by weight BH. The accuracy of this load was amazing, with open sight groups at 200 around 8 inches off a good rest...

    Knight UL .45 209 Primer bulge/failure

    Update: ended up shooting three shots through it after cleaning the flash hole. 1 of the three primers got stuck and required an additional strike to get it out. No failure on the three. I was at sportsman’s and they had a 209 conversion kit so I thought what the hell let’s try a different...

    Knight UL .45 209 Primer bulge/failure

    Ok, so I did some trouble shooting and I believe in addition to the dirty flash hole, I am also crushing the primers too much. See pictures below with pre and crushed dimensions for five primers. It’s my understanding that the goal is .002” of crush. Is this correct? I am at about .011”.

    Knight UL .45 209 Primer bulge/failure

    I think we are in business. I had used a 3/32” to clean the flash channel. Went with the 1/8” which was hard to get going followed by the 5/32” bits. Haven’t shot but it makes sense. Smaller hole with the same charge equals more pressure. Hopefully this works. Thanks again, Ben

    Knight UL .45 209 Primer bulge/failure

    I tried cleaning the flash channel after the first time I noticed the primers getting stuck. The next time I went out I noticed the primers basically exploding. Here is a couple more pics of spent primers. Could they be crushing too much? I haven’t measured the crush on them. There is about 50...

    lightest rifle scope with abilty to count points at 300-500 yards

    I am from wa as well but I hunt the wet side so I haven’t really had to determine 1” eye guards in the field with it. Typically a bow hunter for elk and mainly use it in MT where you are not shooting any legal buck like WA. I had the equivalent cost vortex to start and it was garbage compared to...

    Favorite Open Sight for Inline?

    In western Washington where I hunt I can’t see having the globe front a good idea. If hunting open country I could see it adding extra range but I have no experience with it.
