Speaking of change.... you know the one change I would really like to see is for them to move to a 1/24 twist rate... I think White has proved what a versitile twist rate that turns out to be. The thing is that 1/24 is that versitile in a 45 or 50.
That would be the one thing that would drive me to buy a new Knight in a big hurry.
Tried to send Gordy an email this morning using his old email address - rejected - things are a changing....
Agreed including a bad to the bone 54cal with a 1-24 to replace the 52cal. Using 54x50 sabots the 400gr+ bullets would come to life. Currently accuracy starts dropping at about the 50cal 350gr range depending on the BC and length.
A 45cal with a 1-24 should shoot upto a 265gr .401 with ease and conicals exceeding 300gr. My Accura with a 1-28 does fairly well with both if you push them a little bit but its hell on the sabots after roughly 105grs.
Havent shot the 45 Elite yet and of course the sun came out AFTER they closed the range for the day.
BTW ive been lurking here for some time and decided i might as well register. Ad Block Plus keeps the unwanted ads at bay so its all good.
