It is not possible in my case because the higher sight, even when folded.

Hi all, this is the most recent result of my testing the Lyman Postel at 200m. I'm satisfied, the cartridges work well, I have just a problem with wiping the bore, because the higher posterior sight: I have to clean the bore from the muzzle. No problem for this because I'm using a nylon device to protect the muzzle, in the perfect style of the muzzleloading rifles, but the chamber sometimes remains dirty. So, in alternative I'm using the "bore snake" inserting it from the breech, but after 3 shot I have to use the cleaning rod again. Any advice?

In the future I'd like to give a try to the paper patch bullets, any advice for my Pedersoli Sharps 45-70?

Try a blow tube after each shot to soften the fouling!

Claudius,
My Delrin rods do flex enough to do your wiping and cleaning from the breech.
Includes a bore guide so you don't rub on your tang sight.
Works even for a Trapdoor Springfield or a Martini rifle. Also a Flex Jag adaptor for the TDs to help further

Beltfed, I think that the Delrin rod should be the best compromise.

I use a blow tube between my shots using my Pedersoli Sharps equipped with a MVA buffalo soule tang sight.
When the 35 shot match is done I clean from the breach using a flexible rod!

Hi all, here a good grouping with my Pedersoli Sharps. The first 3 shots on the left: cold barrel. The Lyman Postell and the Lyman #2 alloy work great at 200m, 5 shots in 2" group.
