45 Nitride Shoot - Dinger Farm
« on: May 31, 2022, 04:24:46 PM »
Got a chance today to make my way to the farm for shooting - it is not raining here today! That is somewhat of a change.

I have had this rifle out a couple of times since I got the rifle, but this trip was to be a final sight in.

I was shooting the Lehigh .458x260CF-HP sabotless. The bore in these new fast twist Knight 45's are tighter than the older Super DISC 45's and the are far better in the concentric department.

This is the bullet from the factory...  .458x260





To use these bullets in the new 45 bores - I need to resize the 'drive barbs' to .451.  The bullet Ogive measures right at .449



Resized and ready to go!



Back to the trip - Todays trip was to verify sight in.  So I placed 5 clay birds in the upcoming Lentil at 100 yards.  Then load up and start the shooting process - It was a really good day!



Keep shooting muzzleloaders - They are a blast!!

Nope they do not make one for a 50 cal.  Sure wish they did!  Here is a link

So could you run them with a sabot ?

Probably not... with the cup base and the drive barbs I think you would end up with some accuracy issues.
