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 stars aligned. Me, the rifle and the funds all came into close proximity at the same time and I am now the owner of a 2nd hand but never fired Pedersoli 1874 Sharps chambered in 45-120. I've been having a blast working up a load for it and more than a little of the load information I've used has come from this forum.
Although I'm new to bpcr I have been shooting traditional front stuffers (percussion and flintlock) for 45 years, so you might say I'm getting more advanced in my black powder shooting.
I just want to thank y'all for the information I've got here. My Sharps load is looking promising with sub 2" groups so far with a stout load of FFG and a 530 grain paper patched bullet (another new experience).
Regards,
Brian (aka Pappy)
