If we can get enough interest in these breechloaders, we can have a postal shoot for them. Anyone interested?

Cartridge okay, long as she has to have a percussion cap to go off. If there is an interest shown in black powder cartridge, I think we can accommodate you.

Nope ....1874 Sharps and a 1889 Rem  ;D

1867 Remington rolling block 43 Egyption and 1871 Martiny and Henry 577/450. Both fun but definately not 'cheap'.

Razor I'm still workin' omn a mold for my Armi Sport '63 Sharps...looks like it's tendin' ta be a Papine .544415 ringtail...Thumper sent mesome .540" minnies to try haven't had the chance yet. was snowed in can't get to the range yet, snowed out so to speak. Got some good info at Shilosharps.com
Will keep ya in formed...from what I've been told a Lee .540 Minnie might work well in yours, Is it and IAB? They have a 1-48" twist compared to mine a 1-22" twist.
I'll shoot 4x4's as soon as I get a mold ...HeeHee!

I'd throw in with my 1859 .45 Pedersoli Sharps I converted to take a 45-70 metallic cartridge, but it still has to be fired with a musket cap, and the cartridge is now closer to 45-60...
