Alright, now I wan that knight ultralight. Anyone have one and have shot it? My only concern is how bad the recoil is on a 6 lb rifle
Karl,why are you getting a 45?Ballistics?
You can order them with either bare primer or the plastic jackets but these were borrowed rifles as my bighorn saw serious accuracy degradation after 22 years of hard use. The disc extreme had the bare primer ignition and the ultra light had the plastic jackets. I like the bare primer better so used bullblasters disc extreme over the ultra light of coachcw. Accuracy was equally as good between both.

I'd rather buy a new one with the thumbhole stock and the bare 209 setup, that kit is pricey!Ruined my muzzy deer hunt last weekend by forgetting the plastic jackets
I'd note too that there's absolutely nothing wrong with the plastic jackets. They functioned as intended. Just seemed like an unnecessary step If that was my option on a gun I wanted I'd buy it and not think twice.
I bought an Ultra Lite .50 back in August. So far I love it after a couple of trips to the range. She gets her rookie season debut this Saturday. I opted for the plastic jacket setup as the jackets do offer a level of protection for your primer from the elements (nice for wet side elk hunts). A great addition to this gun versus the Bighorn models I've shot in the past with the plastic jackets is the bolt. That bolt action plants the primer firmly on the nipple, while also pulling it off when it's time to remove it. Pulling that jacketed primer off on the old guns was a pain. It's a breeze now. Amazing gun so far. Hopefully I can break her in properly this next week!
As long as you buy the correct caliber bullet, yes you can shoot conical plastic tipped muzzleloader bullets out of a Knight muzzleloader. I've shot the Hornady SST's (saboted) and several versions of the Powerbelts (no sabot).
