I suppose with the right set up they could be used, but I think they are hardened so no good for cut rifling and the time it takes I don`t need to practice. Maybe after I wear out the Sharps barrel...

Great stuff, keep practicing with a good load so you know there it`s hitting say at 50m`s then go and find some goats/deer. I want to see one of my barrels doing the deed .

At the back of the lathe is the setup for rifling register of the six groves, a bracket with a arm is bolted in place and the arm has a pin that locates and locks in a round disc with the evenly...

Yep , Bills the knife maker, and that 50m group was 60mm on the outer edge, at 100m it spreads to 150mm and I take a 6 0clock aim on target, at 50m and 100m it shoots 1-1/2 to 3" high. This is with...

Hi Rossi.45, Have to say no, not a long range rifle, not bad at 50m but spreads out a bit at 100m. It is a black powder cartridge so trying 65/70 grs 3f with lead bullets, 420gr and pp ones with 3031...

That barrel is chambered for 45-70 I think, should be good to go. I use 3031 powder and load up my Sharps with 40gr and a hollow base bullet.168406
