A friend just dropped off an original Sharps rifle so I can load up a batch of 45 2 1/10th 80 grain paper patch loads for him. The gun is made for PP and doesn't handle the naked slugs very well. So for the next week I get to roll PP and test a Sharps hunting rifle. I will be posting photo's of the gun. This is a 28" bbl Bridgeport Old Reliable with set triggers and was converted from a carbine at the Sharps factory. The rear sight is a long tang buckhorn and the front is a low silver blade in a stel base. The gun weighs in at 8.2 pounds and is going to be used for deer if we can get a better group from it.
Boy it's just going to kill me to have to shoot this for a week (NOT).
