I just got a new disc elite and I hope it shoots as good as it looks. It is camo, nickel barrel, 50 cal. with a tasco world class scope- 3x9. I am taking it out to the range today to zero in the scope. Anybody else have an elite? If so any pointers on what bullet works well? Any other infor I should know about the elite?
That's a nice rifle you have. I have looked at them but I got the Wolverine instead. I am sure you have a good shooting rifle there. I personally would suggest any Knight RED HOT sabot with 100-120 grains of powder. Another projectile you might try is the 250 or 300 grain Barnes Expander bullets. These you can push real hard. In the short barrel inlines I have I shoot them with 85 grains of Goex 3f. In my long barrel inlines I have pushed them to 120 grains of 3f and still had good accuracy. These also really are game takers. If you hit game with them, you will punch a large hole in them.
Since the rifle is new. Get a box of 240 grain Thompson Center Mag Express XTP's and shoot them with 100 grains of powder. I think you will like the accuracy you get with them. In my Wolverine these I use as my check load when testing other bullets. If I think something with a new load is bad, I load the XTP's. If they shoot good, then I know it is not the rifle or me....
Good luck with your new rifle. There are some other elite owners on the board and I am sure they can help you out.
