I finally got all my supplies in and made it to the range. My goal was to work up two loads for a Knight Disc Extreme that belongs to a friend of mine. One load need to be 150 yard capable for him and a softer shooting load that is 75 yard capable that his wife can shoot from her blind.
Weather was partly sunny and 63 with light winds a good day to be at the range.
50cal SS Knight Disc Extreme.
All loads used the FPJ & CCI 209m primers.
Chronograph set at 12 feet.
First load was a reduced load fired at 50 yards. Very low recoil
60gr. volume BH209
200gr TCSW
Blue 50/40 Sabot
#1 1445 fps
#2 1392 fps
#3 1377 fps
#4 1376 fps
Now the target.
Shot #1 went low from the clean barrel with the next three in a nice group.
Adjusted the scope and went out to 100 yds and this is what I got there. This will definitely work for her load.
Next up was a load for my buddy and I want to try and get the .452 260gr Speer Uni-core bullets to work.
100 yards with 110gr volume BH 209 Speer 260 in MMP Short Black gave readings of
#1 1937 fps
#2 1975 fps
#3 1940 fps
Which resulted in this target. Not to bad but wish it was better.
Next load I tried was 120gr volume BH 209
#1 1980 fps
#2 1970 fps
#3 2010 fps
#4 no reading
This is what it gave me I'm not happy with this even though it would be four dead deer at 100 yds it will not make it at 150. Definitely need to do more work with this bullet.
