Default I couldn't take it anymore

It is nice and sunny and calm and about 45 here in Minnesota. I was trying to work in the shop but I kept thinking about some of the negative reports I had been reading about the Disc Extreme with the MHC barrel. I played hooky and got the gun and some loads ready.
First I shot 4 powerbelts to get the sights adjusted. I hadn't used the open sights yet and I had moved my only scope to the disc elite.
Then I tried some 300 grain shockwaves with crushed rib sabots. I could cover the 50 yard group with a quarter. Then I tried some 285 grain Barnes bullets with EZ load sabots. Not as good but I still could cover the three shot group with a silver dollar. Then I tried the shockwaves again to see if it was a fluke. This time I got a ragged hole with the three shots. Not bad for these old eyes. I can tell you I am tickled pink with the way the rifle shot today. I won't be able to wipe the smile off my face now while I'm cleaning the gun.

What powder and charge were you shooting? It sounds like you have a good load worked up there..

I was using 95 grains of triple 7 2f. I meant to mention that.

Thanks.. I will have to try that out of my rifle. I have decided I am going to get some Triple Se7en pellets and see if it will shoot as well as Knight claims it should with Barnes Expanders.

Sounds like a very good rifle from the reports so far.

Sounds like a super shooter, mine is still in the box, too many toys to play with and not enough time!!
