    Default Another ides for a new rifle.
    Does anyone know the diameter of the knight 52? I am thinking a paper patched .515 bullet. Ron

    I have some Parker hydracons for my 52. They fit good , I could measure them and see what they are.

    Not sure about the MK but there are quite a few Big Horns around in a .52

    That is very interesting. There are tons of .515 bullet moulds. Two wraps of 9# onion skin should take it to .519 to .520 or there abouts.
    Now I am very interested. Anyone know if the bighorn is a good rifle? Ron
