Seems to me 45/70 screams smokeless! Why dirty and foul it with nasty black powder! I'm sure you'll get better accuracy and velocity with smokeless Joel If you owned a Sharps and did that, the Buffler Gun hit squad would abduct you, and you would be put into a very small,very cold room nekkid with only Nancy Peolosi to keep you warm

Not even one box. Pull the bullets and dump the powder to get the cases, OR shoot them out of another rifle. Out of a Shiloh Sharps, never.

Here's one from last year of ET, Gunner & sharpsguy. It's sort of fuzzy and blurry 'cause it was the morning after. Note to newbies: Stay away from these individuals. When they start talking about "Shiloh", it ain't about April 1862. It's about making your Credit Card start to whimper and curl up in a fetal position. --Bob . Joel- I tried to warn you. I even posted a photo - (with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back.) But would you listen?? NOOOOOOOO! You hang around with those miscreants and it's going to cost you! Nobody warned me about them in 2013. I got my rifle just a week before snow shut down the local range, so I've only put 15 shots through it. There are still 3-1/2 feet of snow in the range driveway, and if I did snowshoe in, the snow is still covering the benches. The photo below is from a muzzleloader match from last Saturday at another local range. Have fun in the sun! --Bob .

You called it, for sure.
By the way, you ended up with a gorgeous Sharps yourself.
When I get done knocking the wild onions down in my yard, I'm going to spend some time rubbing my rifle down....
Muhahaha

Joel, have you started casting for it yet? Ed

No I haven't. Kicking around trying some of Jerry Dean's 480 grain FP's to see how they run.
I have to make a powder order and get a few items put together like a drop tube and a compression die as well.
Now that I have the stuff that required the FFL, I can piecemeal in the other stuff.
