Truly enjoying this post and all the enjoyable stories, relating to the history of the Sharps rifle, along with Adobe Walls, and the likes, with the larger caliber led being slung down field. It kinda reminds me of Lonesome Dove when Gus, (Robert Duval), says "that's enough", adjusted his sights on that old Henry Rifle and hit one of those Bush Wackers, taking pot shots at him, right square in the mid section! Classic!!! Those were hard days, way back when! Great post!
