A couple of months back I bought a Knight LRH.I bought a Sightron Big Sky 3.5-10-42 scope for it and Warne QR Rings and bases.Well yesterday I finally shot it,it was a perfect day,56 degrees and no wind.It was not a perfect day shooting though.I was using BH209 powder,I had a bunch of 100,110 and 120 gr. loads made up.Primer of choice was Fed 209A's,with the FPJ breach set-up and I had ZERO hang fires,the ignition was instantaneous.Bullets I had 250 gr Barnes TMZ (boattail),250 gr Barnes TMZ EZ (flat-based),260 gr Harvester Scorpion PT gold,300 gr Harvester Scorpion PT gold (both Harvesters use the Black Crush Rib Sabot) and some 290 gr Barnes TMZ EZ (flat-based).I tried just about every combination possible and could only get about a 3 1/2" 100 yard group out of it.With the Barnes TMZ EZ's I was using Harvesters Black and Red Crush Rib Sabot.Well this morning,I went back out determind to shoot a good group.Yesterday it seemed like the most consistency was from 120 gr of BH209,so I started with that.What I tried different from yesterday is I tried the Barnes 250 TMZ EZ with the supplied Blue "EZ LOAD" Sabot.It loaded nice and smooth and firm all the down the barrel.Well,enough of my rambling on,here is the group I shot,it is 8 shots @ 100 yards,53 degrees and a slight breeze.Now,I am Happy! --------------- Rich
