I sized once fired starline brass in my 45-70 and found 8 3/16" hash marks in the brass about 1" from the top parallel [up and down] to the sides around the casings. This was before I neck sized....

This question is pretty pacific to Pederosli 45-70 sharps owners, what brass case lengths are you getting good results with. I'm thinking of getting 45-90 cases and cutting them down to some size but...

little jack where did you get your brass or how did you get it to 2.1? I don't know what R-P cases are.
Thanks

I'm shooting at 300yds. with groups 5.25 to 7" depending on what I am experimenting with the loads that day. That's 2 MOA I am striving for 1 MOA. One day I'd like to get there so I keep on asking...

I'm just trying to get the best accuracy that I can. I haven't read anything on the internet only in writings from a couple of people that win alot and their brass is 2.1 or close. Thanks

Have you had any experience with either?Would you use the thicker of the brass cases remington I think? Do you think I'm splitting hairs with this or is it money wasted and not gaining much? What do...

Having trouble getting long brass for my 45-70 sharps. It seems that the brass is too short according to buffalo they are all under 2" I just measured my star brass it is 1.98. Where can I get brass...

Baja Traveler may I ask what you used for your spikes on the sticks and also for the knob for your adjustments?
Thanks Jacob7

I'm shooting in Va. temp. about 85 and humidity about 60 to 70%. I'm using SPG and blowing 3 times. Everything seems soft with no leading. About everything is wiped free with 2 swipes.
I'll clean...

I was shooting on the 4th a sharps 45-70 and noticed that after the first 3 shots my groups began to enlarge. I timed between the shot which measured 2 mins. Is this too fast. Is my gun getting too...

Thinking of using a steel trap to catch my 45-70 sharps boolits. What would be the min. thickness I can get away with? I'll be shooting mostly from 200 to 400yds.
Thanks

No it wasn't in the mould but came with the mould. He said it was cast from the mould.

Yes the bullet is round being only.001 off. I also put the bullet back in the mould and it shut perfectly to me. I had to tap it out just like I do when I pour.

Yes that is true. I can't get mine to match his. I talked to Jim personally and we talked about it.

My lead is from John Walters- Wad and lead man- Theirs is there own. I don't know if they are certified. Jim from Buffalo says adding more tin would probably help.

A question I can't seem to figure out. I bought a bullet mould from Buffalo Arms and the bullet he sent me from that mould was perfect. My problem is I can't get the same results. His bullets are...

Thanks guys for the photos and info. That's what i needed.

I have done a search on patterns here for cross sticks but came up empty. Is there patterns available or does someone here on the forum have a good pattern? Thanks.

thanks for both bullet and mould info.

Guys;
Have you all had any experience with cast bullets made by the "money" moulds from buffalo arms? I would be shooting sharps 45-70 and bp only. Range would be out to 550 yds. Let me know if...

Thanks guys for all the responses. Yes I am very new to all of this and learning everyday. I do need different opinions so I can pick which ones to follow. So all are welcome. Thanks.

Getting a 1874 45-70 sharps soon and am trying to get details nailed down. Question is with new brass (never fired) do they have to be fired once to get started or just full sized? Thanks
