My first ML was a Knight LK93 Wolverine. I shot a lot of loose Pyrodex, pellets, and bullet combos. Settled on 90 gr Pyrodex Select, green sabots, and Hornady 240 gr XTP's which consistently shot into 2" or better. The combo accounted for lots of deer. Accurate as it was I despised the boat paddle, no recoil pad stock so it eventually went down the road. Lots of muzzleloaders came and went over the years. My current favorite and I thought last ML is a camo, stainless CVA Optima V2 set up with BH209. Well today I stopped in a shop, found, and bought an unfired Knight MK85 on consignment for less than half the original new price. For those that don't know these guns, they started the inline craze in 1985 and were the best of the best. Nice bluing, laminate stock, Green Mountain barrel, Timney adjustable trigger, Williams sights (hooded front), and had a 2" 100 yard group guarantee. To this day I still shoot the same sabot/bullet combo, just need to find some Pyrodex Select. The CVA is staying as a primary because it's BH209 capable, the Knight will be a back up, but it just feels right being back in a Knight where I started. Kinda looking forward to he smell and smoke cloud of loose Pyrodex. Pics to follow....
