Ammo loaded for my 1874 Sharps

Post by Bronko22000 05/06/22, 04:53 pm

After heading to the range last week and testing some loads I loaded up a box of 50 today for my Pedersoli Sharps replica. The bullet is a 500 grain cast bullet with a BHN of 19. Charge is 40 gr of IMR 3031with a over powder veggie wad. Looks like a mini ICBM. Definately T-Rex medicine!
