I was rooting around in my Ammo/Equipment locker last night looking for some scope rings I had rat holed in there somewhere and stumbled on 70ish rounds of 50-95 WCF and 40 rounds of 50/70 govt I had loaded that I forgot about.
Rather than let the rounds moulder in the dark for who knows how long I figured I’d unass my 1876’s and and a repro Sharps Carbine haul them to the range and beat on some steel.
It has been over a year since I’ve had the 76’s out to the range and their accuracy, handling and overall coolness factor is always extremely satisfying.
I couldn’t tell you the last time I had the Sharps out to the range (been at least a couple of years).
1876’s:
Uberti Presidio Carbine on the left, Chaparral Carbine on the right.
Sharps Carbine
All shooting was done offhand at 100 yards with smokeless handloads using H4198 powder and 350 grain boolits for the 1876’s, and Lyman 51514’s for the 50/70.
Guns that shoot like this can make the most mediocre shot (yours truly):look good on the range.
