I tried them out in my Knight MK-85 54 cal last weekend at the range. I will not be using them. They were just too hard to get down the barrel. They sell for $30 for a pack of 24 at Cabela's. I would be willing to sell 2 unopened packs for $30.00 total if they work out for ya.

I have shot them in my 50 Black diamond, 300 gr. I love them, they are the best bullet that shoots out of that gun.Bullets never lose there weight and penetration is amazing

I shoot the 275 grain in my Remington .54, and just bought the 325 grain.  They are a little harder to get down the barrel, but they group well for me.  I dug a couple out of the sand and they retain all of their weight.  I like the 325's because they are longer than most lead bullets, and should fly better.  I will be shooting the 275's tomorrow for deer, should a deer worthy of taking cross my path.

I tried using them( based on a recommendation from knight) with my Knight big horn and had to bust a nut to try and get the sabot down. Moved on to Cabelas dead center 300gr and 295 gr power belts. Both those are working great. Good luck.

Awesome I am looking hard at these bullets. I have the same exact gun and was wondering how well they would fit down the barrel. And also how well they grouped. Have you shot any animals with them? How did they perform?
