The Mk-85 is a throw back to when Tony was building them... They have an overbore (probably in the .504 area). You probably would have your best luck with the thick MMP Short Black sabot. The orignal sabots that Knight made were .508 in diameter and the MMP short black is .506.

The 'crush rib' should be way to thin for a MK or any of the early version Knight Rifles. Unless you were using the new Red Crush ribs built for the Savage...

My MK85 is an older Knight, probably in the 20 year old range. I actually did shoot the lead Whites .504 bullets out of it. They loaded easy and shot great.

Harvester makes a 'Red Crush Rib' that should work well - if you are hung up on the 'crush rib' - but that would be with a .45 cal bullet - you MIGHT be able to load a .458 in it...

Other thought if you want to use a .458 and get a tight fit put it in a HPH-24.

If you want to use a .45 I think the best bet is the MMP Short Black sabot.
