Ok, I just snagged one of these rifles. I know its a retooled 45/70 (sharps) springfield (edited) stock and lock with a ML barrel (.45cal) with breachplug similar to a Springfield Musket. Just not finding any info on how they suggested to load. Ill mike the barrel, but Im wondering if anyone out there has some past experience or info. Id really like to use one of the .45cal minie style bullet molds or even curious if a under size .45/70 type mold would load well. Not new to BP or lead casting or muskets or good ole black powder shootin ! Ive got some .45cal (45/70) cast bullets I'll test fit.
