I've had a slight delay, i need to get back and file the factory Shiloh front sight blade down on the 50-70 to proper height, then make a file cut copper penny front sight, see what the ladder tells me out to around 300 yards or so for sight correlation marks, i think my load with the 530gr greaser at 1250 will still lay a pretty good whop on critters to 300.


Yes, Rough and Ready rear and the Beach front flipper combo.
I cannot file that front on mine.
Need to try your Sharps BP load in my Roller with a 535-grainer, .509" to .510"-sized of 1:20 alloy and grease-lubed.
For smokeless, a grain or two more H322 with my powder-coat-painted, hardened .512"/ 680-grain Hoch, or the 650-grain Saeco.
Bill told me this about shooting smokeless loads in BPCR rifles:

"Smokeless IS good clean fun in these rifles, and I wouldn't call it sacrilege.
But it is not the whole experience. By so doing you are simply shooting a single shot rifle--not a BPCR.
It's sort of like taking your sister to the prom.
You are at the prom, with a girl, but you are not getting the whole prom package."

I always was a bit backward socially.
