whats your knight disc elete 50 cal recipe?
« on: July 04, 2004, 05:49:17 AM »
I shoot 100 grains of pyrodex pellets, with 300 grain dc or hornady sabots. I foul the barrol with two shots  andI dry patch between shots. I can get two or three to group well and then i get a flyer that is 5 inches left and five inches high.  I've shot about 200 rounds threw this gun and can't seem to get rid of this problem. Maybe your recipe will work.

I switched to triple7 pellets and I don't have the mess that the pyrodex pellets leave. The barrel is real clean and dry. I do have to put a very little bore butter on the power belt after about 3 or 4 shots to make it a little easer for the bullet to be loaded. But I will run a patch down the barrel with bore clean and then run a dry patch and then keep shooting. Worked good for me. Well then I switched  to an Encore Muzzleloader and use the same concept. :)

I use a bit of BB on my Powerbelts, too! Great minds think alike!!!! I've also swabbed with BB on a cleaning patch, works well, BUt usually just a spit patch works. After I clean at the end of the day, BB is the last thing in my bore, would have it no other way, inline or traditional.

I don't know that these will work in your Knight, but they sure work in my Austin & Halleck's and my Rmington... Take a look

My normal loads for elk have been:
(during regular rifle elk season)
50 Caliber inline
100 grains loose T7 FFG
45 cal 300 grain Nosler Partion - Protected Point
Nosler Sabot
(for recreation and target shooting I change the bullet to a Hornady 300 grain XTP Mag hollow point - cheaper shooting)
But Recently I have switched to a 300grain/.458 Nosler partition PP and an MMP orange sabot - I will use that this year.

I too use BButter and Wonder Lube to treat my barrels, have been for several years now - if you clean right and dry correctly - good stuff.  I really don't get a lot of fouling - but I do spit patch after each shot when I can.  I do use loose T7 because the pellets are so expensive, so I should tell you and ask you to keep in mind that a 100 grains of loose T7 is more powder than two 50 grain T7 pellets.

Seriously though, if that is a NEW rifle I would buy a box conicals and shoot them through the barrel to help condition (smooth it out) it before I really started trying to develope an accurate load and bullet.
Keep shooting muzzleloaders - they are a blast....

Very good suggestion sabotloader. Also I will try spit patches myself :)
Love that bore butter.  :D
