Chaded, I have some bullets I'll send you to try in that SWEET LOOKING ML. :sign0016:

Thanks sqezer. You still have my address ?

Yep, it's in my address book.

There are a couple of boxes of plinkers on their way to you via USPS...

They will be good for the kids and since they have been to Idaho they are a little sharper!

Sabot, thanks for the plinkers, they will sure come in handy this fall's Hunter Ed's Class, I'm going to send chad a few of my Bloodlines to try in his .52 Mountaineer, it's chad's first Knight, but I bet it won't be his last.:patriot::patriot:

No I said a few years back with I got my first 50 Extreme - that was all I needed:barmy:

I only have 1 also, 1 with this stock, 1 with this scope, 1 with on and on and on we go.:barmy::barmy:

Well it just left Kentucky. I should of got ahold of the UPS guy and told him I'd meet him halfway so I could have it today. :biggrin:

Congrats Chaded

Ive got a semi custom 52cal based on a LRH barrel/action. I was going to sell it but it shoots so good with the 325gr FTX and around 130gr of BH209. Recoil is a bit brisk in mine but im using an Elite composite stock atm. Hornady has finally started selling the .458 250gr Monoflex if you are looking for a lighter weight bullet. Pricing isnt bad either (sub $40/50) and its a tipped monolithic bullet.

The 52x458 sabots are really tough and IMO the way to go in the 52cal. They will handle any powder charges the gun can handle.

The 52x475 sabots are cool but bullet selection isn't as good. The .475 325gr XTP HP is about the best ive tried if you want to try the .475s. They are kinda pricey though and don't fly nearly as flat as the FTX. Speer offers a .475 275gr DCHP but its really short and sits VERY deep in the sabot. Speer also offer fairly affordable .475 325gr if you can find them in stock but ive never tried them.

Thanks for the information GM. I plan to start out shooting the FTX's I think because I can get them fairly cheap and I would think they would even be a good whitetail bullet. But then again there is the different Barnes, Bloodlines, etc. When I first researched the .52 caliber some said there were not very many bullets to choose from but in reality there is plenty, or at least for me there is.
