The 600 grain stabilizes very well and hits HARD! Recoil is no joke but the Knight is well built and makes recoil management fine. Bullet is easy to start but snug in the rifling. 80 grains volume/63 by weight of Triple Se7en 3FG and a #11 cap was the clear winner for accuracy and repeatability.

What’s the advantage of these bullets over a solid copper? I grew up hunting elk with 500g lead powerbelts and there performance sucked. The newer solid coppers are sure great.
Being able to hunt Idaho :tup:
Definitely isn't a perfect do it all muzzleloader bullet especially when states rules are taken into consideration. I agree that the Powerbelts leave something to be desired in performance. If they'd make a thicker copper jacket...
Wow, 600gr? You'll have to aim at the sun when shooting at anything 100 yards away..lol
Like I said, "close range destroyer"

Any idea what you’re getting for velocity?
I got one chrono reading, 1270.
I bought the trial pack and was disappointed. Lube was half falling out. The bases were not sharp but dinged. Just a bad experience and no excuse for me to buy more. Try Bullshop in Saco Montana.
I've ordered and shot from BullShop before. Definitely nothing wrong with them.
Sucks about your trial pack. I've got 5 boxes and every bullet looks like the one in MW picture above. Lube perfectly packed and bullets tightly contained.
