Look for some old pattern papers.

Knight used to sell a grey/silver color sabot for the .52, you could use .458 diameter bullets with that sabot in the .52 I believe.

Yes I saw that. But the only reason I was thinking of getting the .52 is to use .52 caliber bullets. If I want to use .451" or .458" bullets I can use my .50 cal to do that. MMP makes a sabot that will allow you to shoot .458" out of a .50. I have some of them. Seems like Knight has a monopoly on full bore .52 bullets. But at $33.99 for a 10 pack they can keep them. For the price of a few packs I can have a custom bullet mold made.

Parker Productions sells 52cal conical for around $17/10 plus shipping. Free shipping on a $100 order. Same brand of conical that Knight offers.

Accurate Molds might offer a 52cal or you can have them make a .515 mold larger. Their website is offline atm.

Thanks GM. That parker bullet is pretty nice looking. I wonder if they have a patent on it. I'd like to get one like that made without the hollow point. I know Accurate's site is down. I tried to get on earlier today. We'll see what happens. I'm really interested in this .52. But I have a .50 rem 700 ml on the way. But if the price is right.................

Well as much as this rifle intrigued me the auction price is getting to high. I do have a 700ML on the way so by the time I get a Badger Industries 209 ignition system installed I'll have spent almost all my mad money. (including the stainless rings and scope that I ordered yesterday)! Oh well maybe another time.

With the right upgrades the 700ML will make a fine rifle. Its just so hard to beat a Rem700 platform when it comes to customizing it and tons of stuff will also fit the 700ML.
