Bullet Option For Knight 45

[birdog]

I'm looking for bullet options for my Knight Disc .45 with 1-20 twist. I tried a Hornady SST .452 but it was very loose going down the barrel. I will be trying the Lehigh .458 as I was told by another member here that bullet works well with his Knight Disc 45. He said that bullet goes down without the need to run it through a die.

I'm looking for other options to try, with or without the need to size.

I have a mountaineer 45 1-20, and the bullets have to be sized to .451. Good luck.

Knight. 45 can vary greatly on bore diameter.

Contact Dennis at fury bullets and he can fix you up

Fury bullets size well; stay sized; are quite accurate. The 265 stb is 0.453" so may work for you.

To me, it doesn't seem like there is any way a 0.458 bullet can work.

Get Ed Mehlig to send you a few of his 350 gr Gould conicals to try they shoot real good in my Knight .45 w/BH209.. 70 gr with over powder veg wad with very firm loading pressure.
I can send you some to try if you would like.

I have been using the 458x260 Lehigh Sabotless in both of my Super DISC's. They shoot extremely well from the rifles.

Remembering that this bullet was created for custom 45's using a true 45-70 barrel, it can be difficult to get the bullets through the crown of the Super DISC's with the shallow grooves of a true ML bore. But, once through the crown, pushing them down through the bore is not a problem. For myself I have created what I call a "bump stick", really a cheap short started to get the bullets through the crown. I also have re-sized them to .454 by running them through an inexpensive Lee Press and die.

This is my bump stick along side a somewhat normal short starter.

They really do shoot well

This is a ballistic sheet computed after shooting through chrono

Hope some of this might be helpfull.

Thank you for your offer, very nice of you. I will keep your offer in mind if I can't get the Fury or the Lehigh's to shoot.

Thanks everyone. I will get some Fury's and the Lehigh's on the way.
