i have the press release from knight on the .52. you can only use loose tripple 7 powder. the .52 optimal bullet weight is 350-375 grains, with a bullet diameter of.458-.475inches. it boasts an 11% increase in velocity and a 32% increase in energy at 150 yards compared to .50 caliber magnum loads. velocity at the barrel with a .375 grain slug, is 1938ft/sec. at 200 yds, velocity is 1498 (170 less than a .50 using a .350grain) and has 1869 ft/lbs of energy. sighted in at 100 yards, it drops 10.57 inches at 200. a .50 with .350 garin bullet drops 12.97.
