Muzzleloading Turkey Gun

[Fightswithbadgers]

I am planning a turkey hunt this year with a muzzleloading shotgun. I am using a borrowed Knight TK2000. These are not produced anymore and there is a very limited used market. Does anyone know of any muzzleloading shotguns still being produced?

None to my knowledge (inlines). The Knight TK2000 or White Tominator are what most of us are using. Both are out of production.

That’s what I was afraid of. Has anyone loaded the Knight or White with TSS? Can Blackhorn 209 powder be used? Sorry this is all new to me!

 

[ElDiablito]

No you really can’t use B$209 effectively in an open ignition system. 777 is your best bet.

Yes, many of us use TSS.

Any recommendations on where to purchase supplies or a load that may work in the knight TK2000? The powder is no problem, I can find that locally.

You might go read my (and others posts) posts on loads on MML.

TSS is the real killer right now - last I checked it’s recently gone from about $50/lb to $150. So hopefully youve got some of that already!

I used a tk2000 for a single season slam. They shot good, but I wanted to screw around and try for great. I had SumToy make me a double female extension tube, so I could use standard chokes. We took several of his chokes to his range (i stopped at his place on way to hunt in FL) and found the one that made it shot great. I do have to screw it off to load.
Easiest way for load supplies, wad and shot, it's just to cut a 12 gauge shell open and use that wad and shot. NOT the powder of course. For over card just use a 12 gauge choke to cut them from foam meat trays from grocery store
