I have also heard that Unique can be used.lots of that on my shelf. I was given a box of 340tr cast bullets yesterday.
I'm all ears if others wish to chime in with their favorite smoke-less loads. I have a number (too many, probably) loading manuals but thought I'd ask here to see what you like. I will pick up some AA 5744.I've got to pick up some Trailboss too. I've got several cans of 4831 on the shelf. I'd enjoy hearing about the results of your load work-up. BTW.my gun was purchased new in 's had 17 factory rounds down the tube. I expect the more I mess around with my new (to me) gun, the more I will find this out. I think there are a lot more of these Sharps replica guns out there than I ever realized. The bottom boolit hole was a first shot in a clean, oily barrel. Here what my Sharps did this morning at 100 yds with Buck-horn sights. The best $29 you can spend is to buy an online subscription to Load Data Īmazing amount of 45-70 load information and very easy to research. I know folks will burn me at the stake for not using BP.But I love to shoot. Terrible mess and not the accuracy I was looking for.ĭug out the reloading manuals and settled on a 15,000 CUP load using Reloader 7 and 405-420 grain lead bullets.īoth guns show amazing accuracy, mild recoil and zero clean up. Drop tubes, veg wads, blow tube, etc.Loaded up some Goex and FFg and headed to the range.Nothing changed. With these two new rifles I dug out all my BPCR stuff. I'm in the same boat.Within the last month I bought a Winchester 1885 and a Pedersoli Sharps both in 45-70.Ī few years ago I was shooting BPCR out of a Shiloh Sharps.It was a terrible mess and I never got accuracy where I wanted it for hunting and just 200, 300 and 500 yard plinking at the rifle range.
