Default RE: What loads are you guys using in your Disc Elite

I was shooting a couple of rifles today (big surprise there ). One was the Knight Disc. I was shooting 120 grains of Triple Se7en and the 300 grain Hornady .458 diamter HP's. I should have documented the target but didn't think of it since I had a couple other rifles out there. That has to be my hunting load. That's all there is to it. I pushed them about as fast as I dare in my Knight and the accuracy was excellent. If Sabotloader ever gets a chance, I'd sure be interested to learn what speed those .458's are doing over a chronograph.

I guess it really is not as important to know their speed as it sounds because I am positive that anything they hit is in for a really bad day. Those steel plates were really singing today from them. Of course at 30 yards off a bench they shot around a 1" group then I had a flyer and blew the hole thing. I am sure glad that Sabotloader was kind enough to share that load information to me. I think they are a favorite bullet for me. I know they will work excellent on deer. I can just feel it.

I then switched toshooting the .54 caliber Renegade with some 300 grain R.E.A.L. conicals. I was only pushing them with 90 grains of Swiss 2f but I do know that load will give a couple ofpine squirrels a real bad day.

After all of that I took a .50 caliber flintlock out and burned off about twenty roundballs out of that. It was just one of them days I felt like really burning off some powder. It was a little cool outside, 7 degrees, sunny and no wind.
