I've had a Shiloh sharps for a while now and love shooting 45/70 even though I just don't go do it enough. Posted in paper patch section and now have some boolits to get started and eventually get into rolling my own. Haven't shot blackpowder in it yet ether so it's about time! Been drooling on another and now a 45/100 to learn about. Getting ready to cast up some boolits this after and be ready to go to the range. Don't have dies for a 45/100 but figure being careful I could just use my 45/70 and have some rounds boxed up. Plus fire form brass to start the paper patching experience. Next I'll have to invest in a slick mold or going to try to make one myself....we'll see.
So what do you think, I also have some 405 jacketed bullets I could use to expand some cases. After i came home i noticed the sight was bent. Watched some kid playing with any gun that was over 2k at the gun show and he pushed this sight down. Didn't think about it at the time but when I got home I wasn't happy. Trying to figure out how to straighten it without breaking it. Thinking put a couple #s of lead on it on a flat surface, maybe adding a little heat. Don't like bending metal back luck has never been with me on thst one.
