At the range I am between a 1" and 2" group at 100 when I'm feeling it. So I am confident the gun is on but my Black Diamond doesn't except the same bullets as well so that's a story for another day!

So far three shots three one shot kills on bull elk.
All three shots have been from 50 to 125 yards through the ribs, all three bullets were found against the hide on the far side. They were flattend and fragmented.
They work very well but I don't know how they would do on a direct shoulder shot or any other heavy bone.

Bobcat, Ive been looking to try some of the Buffalo sabot loads but cant find any around here. Did you order them from somewhere?
You won't find them in any store in Washington. I ordered mine from Cabela's. They are very reasonably priced...only $18 for 36 bullets. The sabots they come with are a little tight in my T/C Black Diamond, so I also order the Harvester "crush rib" sabots from Cabela's and they load a lot easier. It all depends on the size of your bore though. They may work just fine with the sabots they come with. Here's a link:

I shoot 460 gr Hornady great plains out of my Black diamond with 100 gr of triple 7
Have you tried the 385 gr?
Post by: Opportunist on February 15, 2008, 08:23:02 AM
Sabots shoot real well but I don't like how the plastic fouls my barrel. I also muzzleload in Oregon and sabotted bullets aren't legal, either are the 600 gr. whites (bullets cannot be more than twice the length of the diameter) so I'll shoot the 480's when I hunt across the river.

@ 100 and 150 yrds, iron sight. I like that combo for short range. Will hit hard and do the trick.

I am wondering if anyone has tried the Knight Hydra-Con's?
Post by: DBake on April 22, 2008, 10:14:49 AM
I tried the PR bullet in my Knight bighorn, didn't like the groups i was getting, back to the knight 310 grain and back to good groups. I use 110 grain pyrodex, i am going to switch to the american pioneer this year. My buddy uses it in his white and loves it. No bullet seating problems, and it is easy to use.
You do any testing with the amrican pioneer yet?

With the power belts my Thompson likes the 295's! The CVA loves the 385 Hornadys. Have found that I get better accuracy with pryodex rather than TTT.

Knight lead sabot 310 grain. Shooting 2 1/2" with peep site and 1" groups with scope. :IBCOOL:
I'm with actionshooter on this one ... I'm shooting 2 inch groups with open sights at 100 with this bullet! When I hunt Oregon I use 300 grn Cva Buckslayers and get a 3 1/2 inch group.

I like the Kikendall melted wheel weights witha bit of alloy the best. :)
Hey Bone, I'm curious what mold you are using. I just ordered a Lee .50 REAL mold, & I'm hoping they will shoot o.k. in my 1:28. Sure will be a lot cheaper if they do.

In my Wilson Barreled .504's I like a 510gr my brother casts shoots well 3 shot groups at 100 yards 1 1/4, I also like No Excuse bullets in the 495gr for the .504 shoots very simular to the 510gr, another great shooter is the White Super Slug 600gr bullet 2" groups at 100 yards.
In my Clerke Barreled .504's I like the 460gr Bullshop bullet shoots 1 1/2 in groups at 100 yards.
My .504 Pistol I like the 440 grain White Super Slug.
My .451 cal Whites I like the 460gr White bullet and a 460gr copper gas checked bullet my brother casts. Both bullets will shoot 1" easy at 100 yards.
My .451 pistol I like a 400-423gr bullet
My .410 cal's like 423 grain and 440 grain bullets cast by Moose, will shoot one hole forever.
My .540's like the Noecuse 540gr and the White 750gr super slug. That one hurts though.

Are you now using the jacketed Powerbelts, or still the all-lead? It seems that the jacketed Powerbelts might stay together a little better than the non-jacketed bullets. I have always thought about trying the 444 grain flat point but haven't yet.

I'm comfy as can be shooting them at anything I hunt with my muzzleloader.
