Nosler Knurling
« on: March 04, 2017, 02:26:11 PM »
Well today was suppose to be a shooting day!  It has been really nice the last couple of days the snow here at the house was completely gone and I was really hoping that I could get into the rock pit for some shooting...

Mother nature - had a big hick-up planned!  It rained during the very early morning which was not a problem at all - there was even a bit of sun this morning about 8 am.  Things were looking really good. THEN



So I changed missions!  This last Knight Super DISC that I got has the largest bore of the 3 Super DISC's that I have.  I am really interested in shooting full bore projectiles from the rifle.  I have some .4515 Sierra 3 grain bullets, tried them in the bore and they slid right to the bottom of the bore.  Next bullet up was a Lehigh/Knight .452x250 Bloodline.  The bullet would start in the bore very easily but the factory knurling would not pass through the crown without pressure - so this bullet could be a real possibility!  Next I tried some Nosler .451x250 gr. HP's.  They would also drop to the bottom of the bore. They should be a really good candidate for knurling and shooting'

I then spent some time knurling up 10 of the Noslers. I also pulled out 10 Bloodlines put the bullets together with the Noslers and a bunch of shot cards for my next shooting trip.  I am really hoping to have a really fun shooting trip when ever that might be....

I also have some Lehigh 45 cal. full bore bullets that Dave ran a few years back. I pushed them through a .452 sizing die and will try them also



Here are a few pics of the project...




Keep shooting muzzleloaders - They are a blast!!
