OK. Now have in my procession a Knight 50 cal Bighorn. Can someone school a first time muzzy elk hunter on bullet, powder ,etc. choices? Accessories? Only using it for westside elk. What about a peep site? Thanks in advance. FYI. Been hunting westside elk for more years with a riflr for more years than I care to admit.

Were I you... I would suggest you consider a Lehigh .458x305 grain bullet, either a MMP 458x50 Orange sabot or a MMP HPH-24 sabot, they fit my Knights better since the .458 is a true 45-70 rifle bullet, with 110 grains of T7-3f since you have to use caps. I would also suggest the RWS Dynamit Nobel 1075+ cap or the CCI #11
Mag cap. Then if you get a good nipple that the cap fits tight on it will also make it water proof. The Knight nipple is to skinny and the cap can often fall off.
These bullets offer great Terminal Ballistics.
The AMCO Nipple is no longer available from Track of the Wolf but they now offer a stainless steel version that uses the same nipple stack measurements. The are very good nipples for plunger gun.
This is a ballistic sheet for the bullet but with 120 grains of T7-2f with a 110 of 3f you would be very close to this...
Peep sight is a very good addition in my mind. Williams offers a FP peep with 1/4 min clicks - they work very well...
I even change the front sight to this combination - make it seem like you are looking through a 1X scope.
