Everything is loaded from the end of the muzzle. Pour a quantity of black powder down the barrel and tamp it down with the push-rod. Follow that with some shot pellets and tamp those down too. That forms a tight 'plug'.
No they won't fit. If you force it, it will ruin the rifle.
Quick disclaimer load the rifle according to manufacturer load data. what is safe in my rifle may not be safe for yours. There that part is done. That depends on what the stag horn mag rifle likes. The rifle can safely handle 150 grains of powder. black powder is measured by volume not weight. I have a staghorn mag. in 50 cal and it likes 100 grains of pyrodex pellets. I have shot 150 grains of both loose pyrodex and pellets but with no great accuracy. All because the rifle can handle 150 grains of powder doesn't mean it will shoot your bullet accurately. My rifle likes the 100 grains and I get decent groups. There are other factors as well bare in mind different bullets and will shoot differently too.
Do not attempt to do load with smokeless powder.
For a LK93 Knight rifle, you should use a quality black powder substitute, such as Pyrodex or Triple Seven, which are commonly recommended for inlines.

The effective range of a .54 caliber black powder rifle typically falls between 100 to 200 yards, depending on the specific rifle, load, and the shooter's skill. While it can be capable of hitting targets beyond this range, accuracy and power generally diminish significantly past 200 yards.

In theory, you could load about 7000 grains of BLACK POWDER in a .54 cal. However, it would be a lousy load, and blow unburned powder all over. The largest charge is not necesarily the best- and will depend on whether you are shooting patched ball, maxis or sabot. 80-90 grains would be an average hunting load for a .54 with a maxi-ball, but do yourself a favor- contact the maker of your rifle through their website, and get an owner's manual- they are free.
Your question answers itself, "muzzle loader". You load it from the muzzle. Actually, that's incorrect. They use the term "muzzle loader" improperly. It's a bolt action black powder rifle. The powder is pre-pressed into slugs that you load into the chamber, along with wadding and a bullet. I would guess you could load it down the muzzle, but it's faster and easier to buy the slugs and load that way.
