30-30 Cast from a LEVERgun?

[KCSO]

Here is an outfit I just finished getting up for a friend. The gun is a baby Sharps from Charles Daly and the load is a 31141 pushed by 12 grains of Red Dot and lit off with a large pistol primer. The gun is accurate putting 3 shots at 25 yards into 3/8" and it will ring a 6" gong at 150 yards all day long. The Malcom style scope is a Leatherwood and mounting was ok but the scope does not come with screws for the bases and the Baby Sharps is not d and T for the front base. I d and t ed it and it took all of 5 minutes to dial it in dead center at 25 yards. The mount and scope holds zero well and the sight picture is very clear with pleanty of eye relief for a 3/4" tube. All in all a dandy outfit for cast shooting.

Oh, that rifle is just hideous.

You wouldn't wanna send it to a fellow Nebraskan to prevent the ugly thing from cluttering up your shop, would you?

I mean, I'd be doing you a favor, after all.

The second load we ran through it was a Lee soupcan with 6.0 of Unique and t shot just as well. This rifle will be a real cast bullet shooter. I did have to fix the cheap 2 piece firing pin to get consistant hammer strike.
