I purchased a Knight Shadow 50 cal about 4 months ago and just stared shooting it to get ready for my season coming up. I started off shooting the 250gr Barnes TMZ with 209 BH, got good groups the first time I shot it. Then after that I was not getting any good groups(like 6-8" groups)open sight. I tried 90 gr /100/ 110 gr loads and none worked. The TMZ were very hard to load, and fit tight. So I switched to the Barnes 290gr T-EZ bullets, much easier to load. I loaded 110 gr of 209 BH with the new 290gr T-EZ and now getting 1" groups 3" high open sight at 90 yds. I'm so ready for deer season. Just wanted to share my results.
