After ordering my 44-77 from Shiloh months ago, I'm thinking of ordering Shiloh #3 (my first is a 45-110) and thinking of getting one of the 3 original Sharps 40 cal rounds: 40-70bn, 40-70ss, 40-90bn (not interested in 40-65 or the 40-82). It seems that a lot of what I have read is seemingly somewhat dated and was curious if view points have changed any? Examples: 40-70bn is dirtier and fouls more and the 40-70ss is an accurate today, can't hit the side of the barn the next day. Any truths to these statement or are they just myths?
Idea for rifle is a Shiloh Hartford model, 30" barrel with full length scope for deer hunting. Probably a single trigger. Not concerned with die or component costs.
Was going to order 100 pieces of brass from RMC, but not sure if there is any truths to what I've read from 2004, 2012, 2014, etc and their "supposed" issues? I like the express load of the 40-90 in regards to velocity, but haven't read a lot about it (same as the 44-90), as they seem to be lost cartridges in BPCR.
