Default RE: .45cal Omega problems

I have a Knight Mag Disc in .50 caliber - SS/black synthetic - has been fired about 20-25 times. I bought the rifle new and it's in mint condition with all accessories and the box. I just don't shoot it, instead I find myself picking up my White or my Encore when I go shooting or hunting.
Anybody want to swap me one of those 209x45s?

Okay, so if you don't want to swap, try this load: White Powerstar .450 350 grain saboted bullet http://www.splitfireguns.com/store/m...TOKEN=80993547
on top of 80 grains of Triple7 FFg and a Win209 primer.


I put just a tad of bore butter on the two grooves at the base. Don't know that it does anything for me other than make the bullet seat a "little" easier. Is very tight in my bore. I think the key is a bullet and sabot combo on the very heavy end of what's available and a very tight fitting bullet/sabot combo.

There is NOTHING wrong with a 1:20" twist in a .45 . Something else is amiss with these barrels. Run a tight patch down your bore and see if it gets alternately loose, then tight, then... ???

This rifle is 1:20 twist -


Haven't had much range time with the PowerStars in the Encore just yet but this definitely shows promise


don't you think?
