You will have less options of bullets at the 52.

The knights are an open breach inline.

I can shoot 150 grains of pyrodex, but not as accurate. We shoot 110 grains with 348 bullets for everything.

I personally use the PR bullets. Saboted of course.
I use the CCI musket primers. They are the hottest of the primers we can shoot, that is also my opinion.
We have had our knights for 5 years now and we have killed 3 bulls, all 1 or 2 shots from 100- 140 yards.
Funny thing is they do not run when you shoot, they mill about trying to figure out what is going on.

Where we hunt it is getting to crowded. I saw a disabled hunter driving the roads last year with his plackard, i had to shake my head. Is he going to shoot an animal from the road???
