[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 987728, member: 33046"] I have zero experience or knowledge about your AH, so someone with knowledge of that rifle would be way more help than I can be. Some of the guys over on the modern muzzleloader site most likely do though... I learned about knurling from the smokeless shooters. They use it for shooting sabotless, but knurling can help with some saboted bullets. As my rifle shoots a .452" the best, if I knurl a .452" bullet enough, the intent is to slightly increase its size in the sabot and possibly giving better groups. Knurling is done by laying one course file on a bench, placing a bullet on it and then using another course file and pressure, rolling the bullet between the files. This is also my first attempt at knurling bullets, as with my production rifles it was never necessary. So this a new process to me too. Because my Ultimate is a custom build and much different than other rifles, many things are different. It is capable of much heavier charges than most rifles. That said, my rifle shoots 3 triple seven MAGNUM pellets (180grs). It is ignited by a .45 Winchester Magnum brass case, primed with a large rifle magnum primer. I'm shooting the 300gr SST at 2,350fps. Shooting T7 requires swabbing between every shot. With the custom Ultimate, all the work has been completed before you purchase the rifle by Ultimate Firearms. The Leupold VX6 scope I had Ken mount, has the custom turret for that specific load and rifle. Zero the rifle at 200yds, set the turret and from that point, just turn the dial. I'm [B]impressed[/B] with the custom turret and is the first I've owned. [/QUOTE]
