I am planning to travel out of state to hunt deer this coming fall. For long distance shooting
I have a Knight Elite with a 209 primer LeHigh adapter for Blackhorn 209 powder. You stated you have a bolt Knight and you should be able to set it up the same. So my set up is
100-110 grains by volume equivelent Blackhorn 209 so I dont have to worry about an immediate cleaning.
Winchester 209 primer because I have some
Precision Rifle Dead Center 220 grain bullets. because they are about as aerodynamic as MZ bullets go.
But then
I have 3 pull the bolt back with your fingers (plunger gun)
The shot below was at 90 yards and about 1"low of dead center. Exactly where it should be.
gun was a Knight Bighorn
powder Swiss 80 grains by volume
cardboard and felt wad
bullet 420 grain no excuses.
The bullet may have a little arc to it but if you hit the deer at 150 yards in the vitals it will die.

There are many other combintaions that will work beautifully. I ask other members to add to this info.
