Another ides for a new rifle.
 
Does anyone know the diameter of the knight 52? I am thinking a paper patched .515 bullet. Ron

I have some Parker hydracons for my 52. They fit good , I could measure them and see what they are.

Are they only disc rifles or are any of them like the mk85? Ron

Not sure about the MK but there are quite a few Big Horns around in a .52

Ron, I have one but I have never slugged the bore... I will mic a loaded sabot and give you an appproximation..

OK I just measured a loaded sabot... 520-1 so take it from there...

That is very interesting. There are tons of .515 bullet moulds. Two wraps of 9# onion skin should take it to .519 to .520 or there abouts.
Now I am very interested. Anyone know if the bighorn is a good rifle? Ron
