50/50 pyeodex pellets is fine = 100gr's, either bullet would be fine for deer some guys use them for elk but I perfer 300 gr for elk. Mag # 11 or musket caps is the way to go 209 illegal in washington.
I really think when you get use to shooting it and want to hunt for all those differant animals I would go to 300 gr bullets and use that on all of them !! but thats your decision. thats all i shoot for everything i hunt,deer and elk.
Just remember when you load the pellets the dark end goes in first read the instructions !!!!! I perfer loose powder little more time consuming but worth it to me
I've had bad luck with pellets.
when sighting in clean barrell after every shot simply DAMPEN !!! very very little moisture just enough to DAMPEN the patch swap barrell a couple times then run a dry patch threw it a couple times wait a few seconds then load shoot then do it all over again untill adjust sights if necassary once its going were you want then shoot it a few times untill it gets harder to load then clean barrell again.
You don't need to clean it every shot after shooting when hunting i would swap out the barrel after UNLOADING it when i get back to camp ONLY !!! if I shot it at an animal,I don't unload (shoot) it if i haven't shot it,that day,ileave it loaded untill I shoot at something or am leaving and going home,some guys un;load it every night
Thats fine,i don't.
The only reason I would is if its been raining and has been just a really nasty shi--- day.
Your going to love the knight their great and very accurate.Remember when sighting in you move the rear sight the direction you want the bullet to go !!!
Take your time and CLEAN it very good when your all done and going to put it away
DON'T put it off
