[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 30668, member: 25"] Another long range in-line is Knight's new .52 caliber Disc rifle. Shoots a very nice looking Barnes bullet, about 375 grains and it carries out very well. Have to use loose powder with that rifle, no pellets since it has an extended tube in the front of the breachplug thru which the fire shoots. Ignition takes place near the base of the sabot. Designed for 150 gr. of 777 powder. I hunted with this rifle, took a nice antelope at 230 yards in Wyoming this fall. Had drops to 300 and it is quite flat, cannot recall exact numbers as we only hunted a couple of days. I have another rifle right now but too cold to shoot the sucker. This Barnes bullet probably has the best BC of any muzzleloader bullet I have seen. Long shots are challenging, but they don't get you rev'd up like getting inside 25 or 50 yards to a good buck.
