I collect #1's, and was actually wanting one of the .450 Nitro #1's, but then stumbled across one of the rare .475 Turnbulls. Supposedly less than 100 made in the caliber. Nice wood too, which is required The cat likes it better than her Kalashnikov, too... Last edited by tex_n_cal; 08/01/14. "...the designer of the .270 Ingwe cartridge!..."

It works very well out of my 4 1/4" 480 Super Redhawk. 1050 fps. and they'll still penetrate most of the length of a red oak log in the woodpile. What rifling twist is that #1?

Too much for a Uberti, not enough for what I got. I finally got to shoot it today. Put over 100 rounds through her for our "first dance". I could not imagine it could be as accurate as it is. 540gr Lyman Postells ringing steel from 100 yards out to 500 yards. I didn't shoot any paper, but some of the groups that were on the steel have left a permanent grin on my face. When she cleaned up tonight, there was not a trace of lead in the barrel. It is one of, if not THE smoothest barrels I have ever run across. I tried my best to hit a 4" steel diamond at 300 meters, but all I could do was scare it to death. I hit all around it, with most of the shots within a 6" circle, using only the barrel sights. Towards the end of the day, I was changing sight settings to see how well I could do at varying distances and was very pleasantly surprised at the results. This is one that will not get away from me. For those folks even faintly contemplating buying a Shiloh Sharps, I can only say "DO IT NOW!" You will not regret it. Now, back to my search for a lead mine...

I really have no good use for one of those, but your #1 and Ed's new Sharps are too cool for school. A buddy of mine has a Sharps in 50-110? Lot's of fun! Of course need or good use have nothing to do with being rifle/handgun loonies. Mark Mark NRA Life Member Anytime anyone kicks cancers azz is a good day! ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~ Oh The Drama!
