Outdoor_Guy Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I recently received a knight disc elite 50 cal, and am interested in trying it out. I normally bow hunt so this is new for me. There is a knight accessory value pack with it but the black sabot with lead bullet does not indicate the caliber or weight. Can anyone shed any light on this. Also, how many grains of powderis best? Thanks for amy help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Re: Knight 50 cal disc elite Welcome to the group. The all lead bullets you have are either 260 gr or 310 gr. I don't know which ones they ship in the value pack. They are probably .45 caliber bullets that ride in the sabot to make up the difference to .50 caliber. You can weigh them or wait a couple weeks and call Knight and ask them directly. You will have to try a bunch of different loads to see what shoots best in your DE. I have a pair of the DE rifles one in .45 cal and one in .50 cal. I have given a couple of my hunting buddies them for Christmas presents over the past few years also.

billkay Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Re: Knight 50 cal disc elite The lead bullets are basically there to get you on paper once you start sighting in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillbilly Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Re: Knight 50 cal disc elite I also found a knight disc extreme and it was there for $225.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outdoor_Guy Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Re: Knight 50 cal disc elite I wanted to see if they could tell me the weight of the bullets in the value pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Re: Knight 50 cal disc elite Do you have a scale that will read grams? You can always do the conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billkay Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Re: Knight 50 cal disc elite I believe they are either 260 or 310 grains. Big diiference, I know. I should find out for sure soon, or at least before they get back to the office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Re: Knight 50 cal disc elite You can use any reloaders scale. You can buy an electronic scale like this one or this one. Whatever one you select, be sure it has at least a 0.2 gr not just "g" accuracy. Midway has this electronic reloading scale on sale. They also have this mechanical balance beam scale.

Outdoor_Guy Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Re: Knight 50 cal disc elite I am going for a scale that way I can check the specifics myself on any bullets. etc. Thanks for the links. I can't wait to get out and try out the elite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outdoor_Guy Posted January 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Re: Knight 50 cal disc elite Thanks very much. Any tips on a good powder flask to carry? Happy New Year!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Re: Knight 50 cal disc elite Carry a few speedloaders with premeasured charges and a bullet ready to load, leave the flask at home or in your truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outdoor_Guy Posted January 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Re: Knight 50 cal disc elite Okay. However, I do not own a flask yet. I'm looking for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get one of these: and you can dump the powder from the bottle into your measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA_RIDGE_RUNNER Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Re: Knight 50 cal disc elite I seriously doubt many long time shooters use a flask. I have something similar to AJs but it fits the real black powder cans and has a spring loaded shut off and fits my powder measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
