Stan, those are just target loads. They are 4" long so they look big but they are pretty simple. The hunting loads are a bit more complex, shorter and not quite so elegant.

Here is a .45-100 load with a recreation of the original Sharps Long Range bullet. The overall length here is 4.500" and the bullet weighs 550 grs. The powder charge is 107.5 grs of Swiss 1.5fg.
