Hello everybody,
I have a Pedersoli 1859 Sharps in .54 cal and I'm thinking about getting a Pedersoli Sharps in .45-70. I would mostly use it for elk hunting out here in Colorado and would like to try my hand at BPCR long range shooting. My question is: at reasonable hunting distances, say 100-150 yards is their any benefit accuracy and power wise of a mettalic cartridge over the old fashioned paper cartridge, or am i just hungry for another rifle? Thanks.
