Bloody hell,!!, where's my Sharps!!. :P

A nice wad cutter type like what I accidently made, its a paper patch bullet, 420gr and on cardboard backing targets it cuts a neat round hole. Haven`t tried it on anything furry yet but think it...

That is one lean, mean, machine, and it gets the job done real good. Bet your getting fat on venison sausage's and goat curries.

OK OK , I googled it, hell if the old buff hunters had that they would have wiped out the buffalo's in a week. Just shows you it`s gone the full round from .223 back to the old 45-70, sort of, all...

AAHHH, I`v got it, your shooting on a deer farm, and more new rifles come out every week than you can shake a stick at. What`s a .458 Socom?. :(

Being a Quigley Sharps man and of the old school a muffler on the end of a rifle just doesn't work for me. Will it work with a large bore rifle?, that big hole would just let the sound carry on...

Yes they are fun guns to shoot and as Rossi.45 has shown sub loads get the job done . I`m just up a bit at 1.200/300 fps with black or nitro and with a 420gr slug it hits with the authority of flying...

Yep, That was me making a fog over the range with old lead poison and the beast. Rossi you must like lots of venison sausages , this drilling large holes in small deer is becoming a habit, I`m dead...

The hunting with my Sharps will be pretty slowwww, the beast weighs 12 1/2 lbs, so if I can find one or two goats , but I do take it with me on hunts and if the lands a bit flat, you never know. ...

Hi Rossi, Looks like it`s on the money in more than one way, on target and a LOT of lead poison there as well. Had a shooting session with my Hawken plains .45 muzzle loader and the Sharps at 50m,...

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...

My bullets come out at .312/13 dia and size to .310 , I found I was squashing the nose with g/c, lube sizing and chambering a round the bullet would be pushed into the case, or jam in the chamber,...

My Marlin 3030 has a micro grooved barrel, is your g/gun the same, I`m trying cast in my 3030 but not much success with a 150gr gc bullet. I think a 170gr would better, may have to ream out the mould...

The G/Gun can use jacketed f n bullets, 300/350grs and with a m/v of 2.100fps can bugger up a lot of meat, so just shooting 420gr lead bullets at 1.300 f p s does the same job as subsonic with no...

Yep, That's me with the rifle, :D. Rossi .45 here is my pp bullets, 420grs the ones that hit the bucket, my Sharps likes them, well one is allowed to dream.
70943, Bucket muckerupers.

Hi, Had a shooting session with my Sharps at the range today, not to bad at 50m with lube 420gr bullets and 65grs 3f black, mv 1.200/300 I think. It`s starting to shoot all bullets to she same point...

Talk about one rifle and post pic`s of another one! ,:O_O:. Here is my Marlin 3030.
70630, After the spruce up.

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...

The original loading was 70grs of black with a 500gr bullet, but in the light carbine Springfield it would knock the shooter off the back of his horse. So it was down loaded to 50grs and a 405gr...

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...

I`s the guide guns Marlin action larger than a 3030 one and stronger, maybe I could rebarrel my 3030 with a 45-70 barrel. I always thought the 45-70 would flamox anything it hit, great stuff,...
