shooting the .52
 
I have a Knight Disc Extreme .52 cal I picked up a few years back. It does not get much attention so I thought I'd celebrate the 3 day weekend withe some 52 shooting.

I've never been able to get the 375 grain Barnes bullets to shoot great. I know they'd be great on game! I sent 3 down range at 75 yards and produced a 1.5" group with 120 grains of 3F T7. I guess thats OK but I'd like better. Then, I shot some FBC's I bought off gun broker a few years back. These were the 430 grain versions. They shot pretty well with 75 grains of T7 3F.





Finally,

I shot 3 rounds of the 325 grain FTX's. Not too bad at 100 yards.



All in all a fun day.

Out of curiosity, which breach plug are you using?

Powerstem?
FPJ
Bare 209 Primer...if so which version of the bare primer plug?

Bare Primer, original Lehigh. I was using CCI Primers but they were pretty dirty with two shims in the primer pocket. I'll switch to Win 209's which are my favorite anyway.
