Gonna get one! :IBCOOL: Going for elk. Should I get .50 or .54? What powders, bullets, and accesseries will i need? Please fill this bowhunter with all your muzzeloading life experiance and knowledge!!! Thanks, Im very greatful for your help. :bow:
In the Extreme Knight does not make a 54, they do make a 52 though. In the 52 you would only be able to shoot .458 (45-70) bullets in a grey Knight sabot or .475 bullets in a purple Knight sabot.
I have a 52 and love it for both elk and deer, but as the man said the 50 has more options.
For elk I shoot 120 grains of T7-3f, 458-300 grain Bloodline. There are other bullet options but I am really impressed with the Bloodlines made by Lehigh for Knight.

Gonna get the gun from knight, but is there any place that is better than the others to buy powders and bullets?
Where are you located? or are you looking to get powder and bullets online?

Do you get over to the Spokane area at all in your travels? If you do look up the White Elephant stores and the cheapest place most often is the Black Sheep Store in CDA
And like 'Yote' suggested the old Sportsmans Warehouse now Wholesale Sports carries a lot of the supplies.
On line - check out Powder Valley for power and Grafs and sons for bullets... http://www.grafs.com/ but mailing powder and or caps costs an arm and a leg.
Bloodlines have to be purchased from Knight in these packages....

So you get the sabot also...

Hey Mike, where do you buy your bloodlines from? I didn"t see them on the graf and sons website. Is Knight's website the only place you can get them?

Ya, that is the less than best thing about them they are proprietory to Knight. They do come with the sabots that you would need also so count that into the price... but they are still expensive.
What I do most often is for sighting and shooting paper or birds I shoot the Sierra .458-300 grain bullet. It is less expensive and then for hunting or an occasional target rtip and hunting shoot the Bloodlines.
