[QUOTE="Catskills, post: 2903899, member: 106302"] I have both the disc and disc extreme rifles. I feed them 3 50g Hogdon pellets and shoot Barnes 250g bullets. These will regularly shoot into an inch or so. I’ve not found the same accuracy with the EZ load slugs marketed by Barnes or a host of other bullets. To get optimal accuracy, the sabot/bore fit needs to be extremely tight….which-requires effort to load. We‘ve used the 300g Barnes bullets with 2 and 3 pellets and never found the same accuracy. I didn’t find any advantage hunting wise either. We’ve killed deer and antelope to 300yds, but have noticed expansion stops after 240 or so. Within the velocity window required for expansion, these bullets are quite effective. Ooutside of this window, you still get a substantial hole. I’ve used a 1x scope, factory open sights, peep sights and a 3x9 and 3.5x10 Scopes. Where legal, I prefer a scope or peep sights. With loads these rifles like, I’m a real fan of knight rifles.
