Default conicals wanted

Do any of you have an assortment of conicals in different sizes. I would like to see what works best in my three rifles before I buy some. The rifles area Knight MHC disc extreme, a Knight disc elite, and a t/c black diamond. I tried slugging the bores and I would say the extreme is about .515 the elite about.520 and the black diamond about .510. My measuring may not be exact. If someone would be willing to sell me about 10 each of some conicals in diameters ranging from .520 to .535 I would gladly pay them for what they are worth.
Thanks,
Art

Could those measurements be...

.5015
.502
.501

The largest 50 cal conical I have is .504 -so I would have to go a long ways to get to a .520 -.535

My MHC barrel needs a .504 - the .503's that I have slide right to the bottom once they clear the crown.

Lol, yes you are right. Thanks for the correction. It should be .5015 for
the MHC, .502 for the elite and .501 for the black diamond. I could easily be off .001 or so on my measurements. My dial calipers is getting kind of old.

In my Black Diamond XR I had good luck shooting the .503 diameter No Excuses conicals. I have never got my Disc rifle to shoot conicals well, but it shoots Saber Tooth Conicals in 300 grain size VERY WELL. I never got around to conicals with the Extreme.

Think you should call Bullshop, he can make up a sample kit for you with different bullets and different sizes custom to your order.

I saw in another forum that he quit doing the samples. I think I will get some .503's and go from there. Thanks for the help.
