Okay, we're having a happening now. I think I peed down my leg a little when I walked up on this one :). Haven't shot a group like this with peep sights in 30 years.

Should have posted this a couple days ago....work keeps interfering with my fun. Have received some excellent advise from a very wise man who has literally sent a ton of lead downrange with Sharps...

I have a mint razor flip phone I'm going to resurrect after I retire and rid myself of this insufferable I-phone my job supplies. My boss texts me and I call him back. I tell him this is what it's...
Judging by the oal I assume you're referring to loads for the 45 ACP? I have the Lee manual second edition right here beside me. It doesn't show a specific load for truncated cone bullets but just...

Lead pot,
Thanks for the response. I had actually cleaned the bejesus out of this thing as you had suggested thinking there may have been some lead left in the bore. I used kroil also (I love...

Well had at it again today, got in early and the wind was not too bad. I had previously loaded 11 rounds with 4 different loads. 3 loads were with purchased pre-greased slugs and one was my cast...

Thanks for the reply Sir. I definitely need to make a compression plug. With 120 grains the powder will have to be compressed substantially. Have also considered patching 442's or 443's and...

I appreciate the quick responses from both you and rfd. I've been reading everything I can find for 3 weeks hoping I could avoid bothering anyone with silly questions. I thought I had everything I...

Well, I'm going to have to ask for some input from you bpcr gurus. Thought I was getting this thing narrowed down, fired 15 more rounds this afternoon and couldn't have hit a barn from the inside...

hmmm, I never thought of that. I am in Fort Stockton, right in the middle between "how did I get here and what am I doing here?" Where do you hang your hat?
Just got back from the range after 20...

yep, pretty, shiny and hot :)
I did preheat the mould, I think I wound up with everything too hot.........had frosted then misshaped bullets. Probly rushing it and I left my temp gun in the...

I'm hoping to find out soon if I can get all the heavy pointy things hitting in the same (or at least similar) spot. Lots of feral hogs around here I figure should make a good testing media.

Just signed for some Goex, Swiss, Graf and sons and Eynsford in 1F, 1.5F and 2F. I live 6 miles North of the middle of nowhere so there is no place to buy black powder near (gotta love those hazmat...

Thanks for the welcome guys. I know a 45-120 Sharps perhaps ain't exactly historically correct but this is likely my "learning" rifle, before I convince my bride I need a Shiloh :). I didn't care...

Good afternoon guys, I've been reading a lot on this forum and others for quite some time now and have decided to join here. I have been planning on a bpcr for many years but a few weeks ago all the...
