So I'm shooting my 1874 Sharps and the BACO 540 gr Money PP bullet. My first trip was the maiden voyage and I loaded up 68 gr of Swiss 1.5F. I'm performing all my testing at 200 meters. So this load shows promise. I shot a 4" group but i'm also experiencing some random fliers. This might be given the fact i'm shooting with a very low power 5x MVA scope, and also due to the fact i'm a new single shot BP shooter. My velocities with the 68gr load was about 1187 fps. Next range trip I loaded up both 70gr and 80 gr of Swiss 1.5F to test some wider velocities capabilities. The 70 gr load shot a nice 5.38" group but again a couple substantial fliers that were just off the edge of my 9" paper plate target. Velocities for the 70gr load were about 1197. The 80gr load shot a nice 4 shot group that measured 2.960" at 10 oclock , but oddly more grouped random fliers. I had a small 2 shot group at 3 oclock on the edge of the paper plate, and a tight 2 shot group at 6 oclock on the edge of the paper plate. The 80gr load shot about 1275 fps, and I really started to feel elevated felt recoil fatigue. I'm not a big guy and even with a recoil pad I was getting sore. I also inspected my paper and i'm getting the correct confetti rifling cuts on the paper. So still much testing to be done but overall things went well. My only question is about wiping between shots. I was doing 2 moist wipes as a lot of crud pushes out the bore. Are you supposed to do a dry swab after a wet swab ?
