Thanks for the info Ranch13. Maybe this is not the Sharps I need. It know in the description it states "Will not chamber ammo loaded with .446" grease and groove bullets." The rifle seems to be at good price for a minty looking Shiloh $2600ish. Maybe it's the paper patch only chamber holding it back. I'm still in a holding pattern trying to make sure I'm going in the right direction. Could I have the chamber fixed to shoot GG or paper patch? Or maybe have the barrel swapped out to a different caliber. I've not invested in any reloading components yet for 44-77.

Thanks,
Robert
