    You know I`ll have to agree with you, I`m slowly improving my system and thought the fast twist would cause problems ,but no and I`ll have to say this is the best barrel I have done. I`m very tempted...

    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 .

    The mould I have is the Lee d/c, C309-160-R, Dia .309, 160gr, My lead,(pipe) is mixed with a bit of linotype and tin to harden it up a bit, could go a bit harder to see if it casts to size and stop...

    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...

    Hi rossi.45, I was just having you on, I was wondering if the action had been beefed up for the 45-70 cartridge. I will leave my .3030 as is, I call it "Sudden death" does the job really well in the...

    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
