No problem at all.
KNSU doesn't have to be heavier, but there are trade-offs.
KNSU has higher density and lower ISP than APCP, so you can shoot for equivalent performance with a size/weight trade-off, or equivalent motor size or weight with a performance trade-off.
Either way there is a compromise. APCP is the dominant propellant for a reason
Are there any retailers within driving distance that regularly stock AeroTech?
If you can sweet-talk them into getting you RC reloads with their next order you might avoid the HAZMAT.
