Yes, a 140 may kick 700 grs up well over 1450 fps, that would mucho suck for 30/40 rounds benched, I'm going to go drink a quart of liquid Advil for just thinking about it.

Accomplished quality par excellence..

BY-GOD, this forum..............IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!


Cool Vid Woody.

Gunner

But BP doesn't recoil.....it just shoves!!

400 grains in an 8 Bore shoves a real long way too.

Haven't been on for awhile so I'll keep it going. Just received my custom .460 540gr RNFP greaser. Ordered this similar profile as my 530 PP shoots so well..The mold specs say 540 with WW but I cast primarily 30:1 it should tip the digital a tad heavier. Big heavies are a blast especially launched from the 110 over max quantities of compressed 2F..Flame away fellas !!

Thanks for putting that up - I've toured the factory but never saw any of the process in action. I thoroughly enjoyed that!

Nice looking slugs Woody, they'll get it done!

I just fired all 4 of my Sharps rifles at 100 yards with one shot each from a clean cold barrel, they all BY-GOD grouped in a clustered ragged hole of about 2"s.

50-90 705 gr PP bullet at 1240 +4" dead center.
45-110 530 gr PP bullet at 1390 fps + 3.5" 1/2" to the left.
45-70 530 gr PP bullet at 1241 fps +3" 3/4" to the right.
40-65 416 gr FN greaser at 1385 fps, + 2.5" dead center.

These boomsticks are ready, COME ON NOVEMBER!!!!!

You Men got yer rifles ready?

Yes! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ, this forum is deader than my pecker will be should I live to a 100.

No it ain't. There's at least two of us here.

I cleared some overgrowth and extended my 400yd berm this afternoon in anticipation of ringing some steel with my Sharps before rifle season kicks in.

Besides, I'm going back up to Kansas this year to hunt whitetails on the Prairie, so I need to be carrying the appropriate firearm.

Nice going on the brush clearing Ed, i have a 700 yard gaze up to the treeline in the North pasture, I'll never posses enough Sharps Rifle talent to reach that.

Even if I did, I could never get steady enough in a hunting situation to cleanly kill an animal at that range.

Good luck on your Kansas hunt this year too, heavy bullets in your Sharps will help with that damn wind up there.

I learned decades ago, if I need to fly a damn kit, the state of Kansas will not disappoint!

Reading this makes me feel terribly inadequate. CB shorts are pathetic.

Woody, who made those moulds?

And by the way, I know a fella that was working on an 8 bore double rifle and that sucker was and is a hummer. He was getting groups in the 3-4" range @ 100 yds offhand while shooting both barrels. Then he lost his mind and cocked both barrels at the same time.

It doubled. He said the sky turned purple. Other than a lot of pain, the first recollection he had after the shot was his buddy asking if he was OK. The gun was layin' in the dirt about 15' behind him. He said the 2d shot landed kinda high.

Envious of you guys with the big back yards..My max range is 200 or else cut a swath through 5 acres of hardwood timber to shoot farther!..

Our deer opener in two weeks will be a 45 kinda outing this year. We have both Mules and WT's on our ranch so the 45/110 Sharps will be out high over looking some wooded canyons,the 86 Win 45/90 will be in the box blind bordering the wetlands along the Loop River. The new 66 Yellow Boy in 45 LC will sport a new 300 gr cast offering over a charge of BH-209 and go with to my ladder bow stand in the heavy timber.

I'll be at deer camp the entire season with several tags so not in a hurry to DRT anything.

Dan both moulds are from "Accurate" The PP is #45-530P and the big greaser is 46-540X

Thanks, look to be very well constructed.

Still awaiting my .45-70 boomer....and fiddlin' around with my .25-20 SS Stevens. I like that one I do. Good shooter most days, not nearly so rambunctious as some of the others.

All y'all let me know when you want to talk sissy guns.

I've got my eye on an original sweet 1905 Roller with nice finish and timber all intact but it got Bubba'd to a 308 !! Thinking about pulling the plastic trigger and of course a re-barrel..any suggestions besides a 45/70 ??

Well, the .38-55 is gaining some respect in my book, but they shoot 350 gr bullets. Is that cheatin'?

Sad to say I'm not well versed in BP guns or cartridges and am simple minded for the most part. Common styles yes, the esoteric versions are still a mystery.

Should I pull the trigger on this I've been leaning in the direction of the 40-65 but your 38-55 do sound interesting..Either should be a decent choice and good cast bullet shooter...BTW 350 grs is marginally acceptable.

Is a .32-20 too manly to talk about when discussing sissy guns?



Ed

My definition of a sissy gun: You can put the buttplate on your chin, jerk the trigger on a live round and still chew bubble gum afterwards. .32-20 might do that with a heavy gun?

No fair clenching your jaw either.
