More important is the type of powder used; short fat cases like 50/70 and 577 burn cleaner with 3FG powder than 1FG and is more consistant with velocity. conversly longer cases like 45/90 and 50/90...

I use a 195gn boolit in my JW105 Norinko (bolt action) with 23.5gn of 3031.

I use an RCBS priming tool with a correct shellholder for all my 50/70, 577 and 12ga brass cases.

Try 3FG in the short stubby case as it burns cleaner. I also built my "Super Snider" on a Martini Henry frame, 92gn FFG and a 620gn boolit certainly gets your attention.

I have a Pedersoli Sharps "Boss Gun" in 50/70 and have been shooting it a couple of times a week for the last 5 years. Accuracy with a 450gn Lyman boolit is excellent and I have no issues with feed...

A friend is finally downsizing all of his rifle equipment and has offered me all his moulds and shotmaker. Sometimes you don't have to wait for Santa Claus.

My 1886 24" "Sporting Rifle" is a Pedersoli and I think Chiappa use Ped actions with their own barrel. If that is so, my is very reliable and accurate.

In Australia we have to give the police a "genuine reason" to purchase and own any firearm. When I bought my 58cal BP rifle I told them it was for sabre-toothed field mice. :kidding:

I use a 12ga loaded with sorgham seed in 1 1/4oz wads; good for about 20' and doesn't take the paint off!

Restoration is worthwhile and you will have a family heir loom to boot. That is the journey that I took with my Winchester Low Wall in 32WCF (made 1892) and now I have a rifle that I shoot up to 3...

Sunday was cold and wet so I cast up some 50cal boolits for 50/70 Sharps

Very informative, thanks for sharing.

Yes, left hand stock. The smith did a wonderful job finishing the barrel at 22" with 1:10" ROT. It shoots 100gn cast boolits as well as "J" boolits!

Think yourselves "lucky" at our gun club you can't shoot any round that exceeds 308 Winchester so that excludes 17Rem, 270 Win, 30.06 etc; also any firearm with a barrel shorter than 20" is a no no....

I have a Pedersoli "Lightning Pump" in 44/40. A few teething problems but now utterly reliable. Another manufacturer of pumps would be great!

Have CH dies in 303 Epps, 577 Snider, 12.7x44R quality dies no problems.

You could always build a 25/35 Winchester!

I load the RCBS 100gn GC design in my single shot 25/35 and 1:10" twist barrel.

Thanks HG,

You can even make boxes for storing cast boolits!

I make them a little different but similar to this jewel box! Proper jointed corners and fancy wood, also presentation boxes for knifes.

It is...

I guess a Model 12 from the 1930's. The action should have thicker walls than the Cadet. The 12/15 had a pistol grip stock.
