I’m planning on getting a single shot .45-70 to shoot with black powder, so I have been doing a lot of research on the internet. I came across a post that mentioned how there was a difference between Winchester chambers and Sharps chambers.
Apparently, this person was building a gun and used a Winchester reamer and was not happy with the way it turned out. He said if he had used the Sharps reamer, he would have more options for loads.
I checked in Cartridges of the World and they say both cartridges are the same.
Can anyone shed some light on what he was talking about? Could the Sharps be a little longer, so you can have a longer OAL? Is this anything that needs to be considered when buying a gun to use with black powder?
Thanks
