tried conicals out of the disc extreme. namely powerbelts and FPB's. the powerbelts I have on hand. don't shot while out of it. (going to try 300 gr plats. this summer) FPB's shot great at 100yrds, but hard as hell to load if I second shot is needed.
going to work up an sabot load for it with my two weeks off before late muzzy starts. I have shot 240gr cheapshots out of it to check the scope. 3 touching at 50yrds with 75grs of triple 7. (guess this can be an base line). I have .430 240 xtps, .451 250 xtps, hand ful of 250gr gold dots, 10pk of knight hot shots (barnes).
which way should I work? [8D]

Well the Barnes should shoot real well out of it. I used to shoot Barnes out of mine. And they did real well. Also the 250 grain Gold Dots should also do real well.

Well the Knight Hot Shots are designed for Knight guns and they are one heck of a bullet (they are a Barnes MZ), so Iwould use them. However you only have 10, so that give me pause, since my experience is that it takes about 15 to get dialed in, but I have shot the 300g Barnes out of my Omega with only 3 shots and it was right on, so I only shot 3.
If you were going to shoot a lot with that rifle, then go with the 250 Gold Dots or the 250 XTPs, with a perference toward the Gold dot since they hold together better.
