Stats: 6 Deer Harvested(My Son and I together), all with 45cal Knight SS Disc Elites, and 200g Shockwaves, 90gV=65gW BH209, MV=1950 FPS, CCI Standard Primers, Lane's Modified Domed FPJ Breech Plugs
5 out of 6, DRT Largest Buck ran 60yards (He had already trotted 900yards-spooked by other hunters to get to me) out in a cut bean field, spraying blood everywhere, and fell so hard his rack plunged 8inches in the dirt
It all started back on 15Nov08, Opener of RIFLE season in Nebraska..I loaned out my 30.06 and took the Disc Elite out instead! This was the largest Buck, 5x5. Got him just at 102yards in cut bean field, high double lung--no shoulder contact..In and Out..Jellified the lungs..And he was still able to go 60 yards..though he looked like a drunken sailor on shore leave, weaving all over (No offense to our Navy folks intended :wink: ) (He had already trotted 900yards-spooked by other hunters to get to me)

I then reloaded my 45cal Disc Elite, put it in my gun case and left it in the unheated garage until 01Dec08.
On the 01Dec08 I took it back out for Muzzleloader Opener, did'nt get a shot off all day or that evening.....
I put it back in the guncase, and left it in the unheated garage till 13Dec08
Between 01Dec and 13Dec My Son shot a small Fork horn-60yards and a yearling-100yards with His Disc Elite and same load. In and out of the forky, broadside-DRT, and Brisket shot the yearling at 100 yards with recovered bullet, went thru one lung and 4 ribs on one side, lodged just under skin of left ham-DRT. Bullet perfect mushroom, weighed 154grains.
Also shot a BIG doe broadside in-and-Out broadside, 70yards--DRT.

On 13Dec08 I took out MY 45cal Disc Elite (Same Charge Had Been In It For 29 DAYS!) and Harvested an average Doe with the first shot at 50 Yards, high front shoulder-very front part of the lungs I realoded ASAP, waited 20min and shot a yearling button Buck at 30 yards, High shoulder, quartering towards me, exited far side 3-4 ribs further back-- DRT.

Haven't cleaned my gun or messed with the breech plug since sight in back in early November! It's back in the case, in the unheated garage tonight, temps are allready at -2/with -21 wind chill outside
I saw a HUGE bodied Buck, I will try to get on this comming weekend!! However, My Son saw him too...So i guess we'll see how this story ends :wink: 8) [/img][/b]
