I shot 3 60 grain pyrodex pellets with a 235 grain powerbelt at both elk and deer when it was legal here. I am not saying that you need to shoot that much powder but out of my knight it shot flat, it was accurate and it hit very hard. I havn't seen a whole lot of guns that won't shoot powerbelts pretty well.
Whatever you decide to start with I would suggest putting a set of mounts and a scope on that thing. I realize some guys can shoot out to 100 yards very well with open sights, but it's hard to beat a scope when you are specifically trying to find what shoots the best out of your smoke pole. Since I've started doing that, I have way more confidence in what my gun can do, I know it will shoot better than I can with open sights.
