Anyone shooting these in a Knight Big Horn? I am wondering how they fit down the bore.

I have shot them in my MK and using the mmp HPH-24 sabots for the .452-250 grain bullet or the MMP Orange .457-.458x50 sabot for the .458 bullets.  They load just like I want them to in that gun.


This is a .458-300 in the Orange sabot



I have also shot them in my Big Horn but it is a 52 cal.

I shoot them in a MK-85 and I have shot the 458's in a Bighorn with MMP HPH-24 sabots.

When you buy a box of these bullets, they come with the red sabots i believe, will these fit the Disc Extreme's barrel or will I have to get different sabots?

The color of the sabot is dependent on the size of the bullet and the caliber of the rifle.  If you are referring to a .458 bullet and a 50 cal gun you are correct Red Sabot.

Sabotloader,
  I guess the question I am asking is, will the red sabot be too tight in the 50 cal disc extreme's barrel?  I have read on here that the Knight bullets seem to be pretty tight going down the bore.  Should I get the orange sabots?

Thanks.

They and the Orange shold be the same thing with a different die.... The load just right in my 50 Knight barrels... Try the red ones and let me know I can send you a couple of Orange...

Is your barrel a new barrel?

Yes sir, brand new gun, never been shot.  The wife bought it for me a few months ago, I just haven't been able to shoot it yet, been busy with kids sports.  Just now getting around to getting everything so I can find a load that works for it.  Thanks for all the great advise that you have posted in this forum, I have read a ton of stuff that you have helped guys out with.

Thanks again.

Since you have a new gun- you bore is coated with a Bore Coat to help resist fouling - it is not the final answer but it sure helps with fouling and cleaning.

When you get ready to try loading - just pull the breech plug out and push a bullet and sabot throught to see how it goes. Puah it all the way out the breech.
