Ive shot it from a 50cal with a 1-28 just fine and i believe SabotLoader has shot the over sized 277gr or regular 275gr in the 52cal. I haven't shot them yet in my 52cal but i have run one down the bore and i like the way mine loads. I only have about 2-3 left.
I shoot mostly his 40-185gr DOA in my 45s.
Actually that 275 or 277 gr bullet might be a great all around choice if you are looking at premium quality/cost bullets.
Grouse and SabotLoader are more experienced with the Lehighs in the Knight 52 and the reports look really good to me.
