Sweet...I finally found a load my Pedersoli 1874 Sharps likes. 49.0 gr of IMR4064 under a 405 gr cast and paper patched bullet. Impending rain kept me form shooting any distance with it but the shots I did take were very promising. Three shots at 55 yards with the iron sights punched paper for a group 0.75" C-C. I can't wait to get some decent weather to shoot at some steel at extended ranges with it.
Yesterday was gorgeous but I spent the day with two other instructors teaching a Hunter-Trapper Safety Ed course.
