Just jumped into Muzzleloading. My first MZ Rifle is being shipped as I write this. As most of you who hunt elk in NM know, the outfitters own most of the big game tags here in New Mexico. Drawing a resident rifle bull tag is getting to be almost impossible. I had to hang up the bow because of shoulder issues. A good bull tag here to hunt PUBLC lands goes for 10-15K. Some of the E-PLUS tags are resold 2 or 3 times…
I picked up a Knight Disc Extreme at the blow out price as they are discontinued. I will be shooting #11 percussion caps for now unless I can find a better solution. Going to shoot FTX .325 gr sabots to start with. I am curious about what types of powder to use and how much would work for this knight rifle with a 26” barrel. I am looking for the smallest group at 200 yards. No scopes allowed here in NM. I would like to try some bore diameter conicals but don’t want to pay 2 bucks a bullet….I would rather buy a mold and pour my own. Can I shoot conicals without a patch? Rifling twist is 1:26”. Any help is very much appreciated.
