Knight Disc Extrm 52 cal

[pipercub0209]

My mold from accurate is a little longer, I spec'd it two calibers long or 1.040" and the bullets are in excess of 550 gr. 52-549F

You guys have me convinced. After I get my bore measured. I’m going to order either the 52-510m or the 52-530i.

Or you can be like me and buy them all!

I'm looking hard at the 52-510M for a groved bullet and 51-485S as a paper patch option.

I was able to get 52-510

i was able to get 52-510m to shoot about 3” at 100 with open sights. 95 grains by volume T7. Very happy with it. Don’t have any experience paper patching. Seems as though it would be a good bullet.

Years ago as a field expediency, I once paper patched the Lee 515-500F with one to two wraps of masking tape and got decent accuracy at 25-50 yards. It worked so I still use them at the short ranges I hunt.

I mentioned this before, and someone asked what happened to the tape. I didn't know then, but I've since recovered some bullets. The tape stays on the bullet even after penetrating deep into pine logs.

Well, I got to put the 52-510m to work on a decent blacktail yesterday. So first a disclaimer, I made a stupid shot and got lucky, in no way would i recommend doing this. This is in Oregon where we are restricted to only use open sights. I debated posting this but figured why not.
I shot this buck at 238 yards…. I was watching him chase a doe in the bottom of a unit and laid down, put my sights on him and he stopped, I said screw it and squeezed the trigger thinking I would at best miss and at worst put my tracking skills to work. I let my emotions get the best of me. The disc extreme barked and I lost sight of them in the smoke, then I heard a crash. I Figured I was close enough to scare the buck and heard him fly into the brush. I walked down kicking myself for taking such an unethical shot and and found him piled up 20yrds from where he was when I shot.
The second photo is where I was when I shot. Kinda where the crappy red arrow is. That Tall scotch broom on the ridge is almost as Tall as I am. The buck was by the stump. I shot hit him square in the heart.
Bullet cleanly passed through, exit hole was slightly larger then entrance. I am getting almost 1500fps with 95gr by volume T7. And using 40-1 lead.

Better to be lucky than good sometimes. But I think in your case it’s a combination. Nice buck and shot! Our late muzzleloader season starts tomorrow. The White gets the call. The DE not ready yet.

Good luck with your hunt!

Incredible shot with open sights.
