Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Target Rifle ?

Hi Guys, I have been using paper patched bullets in my Pedersoli Gibbs rifle and my Parker Hale Volunteer (Rigby Rifled) for a few months and that is working well. So well in fact, I ordered a Pedersoli 1874 Sharps Target Rifle in 45/70 from DGW. I have got to ask, does this rifle shoot well with paper patched bullet as it came from the factory or must the gun be modified ?

Just one way to find out.....shoot it.

no modification to the gun will be required. it'll work just fine for PPB cartridges ... or lubed bullet cartridges. you didn't mention the powder you'd use, i hope it's real black powder. ;)
