Kinda doubt that seeing as I drive mine with 120 gr T7 loose or now 120gr BH. Your rifle just didn't likeum is all. I know my shoulder doesn't like that load much either anymore! 300gr bullet+ 120 powder load= ouch on BOTH ends but it was a dang accurate load.

Maybe its those silly pellets you burn.

Could be those silly pellets, the same ones that just gave me a 1.8" 500 yard group @2,300fps

Harvester couldn't have been better and I have nothing but the highest phrase for them. We spent many days on the phone and honestly, I do believe they sent me every sabot they make. Could not for the life of me (us) get them to group at long range. The BE's were ok to 200yds, but beyond that they went all over the place and wouldn't group.

Jeff and Greg are top notch shooters. Anyone that beats their scores is going to have to have their "A" game going and maybe a lot of luck too.

Doesn't it just suck when you try to compete for second or third place?

I think Jason Day with a Knight DISC 45 took top honors using Swiss and a 525gr or 530gr lead conical.

Ive shot upto a 488gr Bullshop with 80gr BH209 in my Pacnor. I cant imagine a 500gr+ bullet in my DISC 45. That would really thump on the bench.
