New Knight 52 with gray thumb whole stock: need bullet help: loads

[Pittsspecial]

Hello:

I recently picked up two knights 1 DSC 50 and the gray mountineer 52 cal
Knight they sent on a box on blood line 458 dia 275 gr sabots and advised 90 gr of tripple 7

So I use the tripple 7 in 30 gr increment round donut hole pelets. After a few shots I can clover leaf at 100 from a rest.
I d like to shoot farther with dandy results like this. Any suggestions would be wonderful guys.

I like the 52cal.
I picked one up a few years ago and with its fast twist - I had a feeling it would shoot conicals well. So, I made a mold and it’s been a shooter, like I had hoped. Red Plastic Jacket.
Won our state match with my friends from Knight in attendance. (200 yd target)
Shot a doe facing me in the chest at 218yds - bullet exited side..
I was shooting 75gr Swiss 2f (no doubt the same volume amount of BH209 would be equal).

Sounds like you have it shooting well..
Have you tried shooting farther?
A scope with external turrets will help.

I have not tried a different scope yet but Id love to. Im in the Hospital right now, just out of ICU with the Big C.
I love the gun. It is well balanced, fine trigger and deadly on. I put on a red dot just for deer season but I got sick the second day. Dont ask me how its a mistery.

Id like to shoot further; Im using the recommended 90 gr of ff with 275 Bloodlines.....but looking for an additional direction for loads; 'I agree the scope should be as you have there too.
Very nice rifle!

Get thru the Big C..
The bloodline is a good bullet - hard and will penetrate. If it shoots good now, don’t be so quick to change.
A good scope is mandatory for shooting past 300.
Until then.

Agreed 100%. I think I have a good scope at home; to try. I am amazed at the accuracy so far.I am not often impressed but this rifle is... quite good. It is a joy to shoot, and that says it all right there.
thank you

The 275 Knight/Lehigh Bloodline is a great all-around bullet and it is very accurate. I shoot it form my Knights with 120 gr. vol of T7 or BH. You will not believe how effective it is on and animal. Lehigh Defense is also making a copper counter part. A .452x265 gr. CF-HP that you can get also, although you would not be able to use it in the 52 because of the lack of a sabot. But in the 50 it will work great,

and the 265 with BH

Sorry to hear you got sick.
I hope you get your strength back and get out before seasons end.

thank you so much for sharing. This great. Here on day 10 just off the lung machine on forced O2. Wishing I was out shooting and hunting. Last thing I remember I was starting out in the am and got 1/4 of the way up and I had to stop and go to my knees. No air. I figured it was my time anyway... but I made it back by the GOG. ill be back...
