  • Just a point of information regarding the tape on the barrel. This tape on the barrel is to identify the, "Null" point of the barrel. This is the place to rest the barrel to get the best accuracy. The null point is found by holding the barrel muzzle towards the ground by the stock. Then with a large diameter piece of wooden dowel you tap up and down the barrel until you hear the pitch of the sound go flat. This is the null point! Hope that helps, great shooting!

    • Interested in long distance shooting as well. But like an accountant's obsession finding every penny, a long-distance shooter has to be particular about everything. Don't some shooters even worry about barrel temps between rounds?

    • @@FilosophicalPharmer I can assure you that the temperature of the barrel is the last thing that affects the accuracy of hitting the target ... Do this experiment - fire 20-30 shots from your rifle recording the hit numbers and see where the first, tenth and thirtieth hits will be .... I think the result will surprise you very much when you see that the last shots do not go anywhere from the first groups ... Except for the fatigue of the shooter ...

I've only been able to shoot at 200 yards but I would love to have a chance to use it at 1000 yards or more if I could find a safe place to go. Black powder cartridges so much fun and contrary to what some people say it's actually fairly easy to clean up with hot water and a tiny bit of dawn dish soap then I use Thompson's bore butter as a lubricant.

  • During the Great Cavalry Clash at Little Bighorn, 2 of Renos troopers who had their 500 grain ammo in rifles held back advancing enemy oppossition out to rather secure yardage of about 800-900 yards. 1st Lt he had a Trapdoor Rifle. The First Sgt , he had a recently delivered Sharps Buffalo rifle with Scopesight. He earned about 35-40 dollar a month, the rifle in case and gear cost 100 . They found bullets at a area long range with battlefield archeology some yewrs back at angle from position from where he said he was shooting from. Since the carbine load were 405 55 grain it was considerable advantage over it ,and likely saved most of Reno 's dug in command.

There is no such dignity nor honor in murdering non combatants, women, children and elders or Buffalo herds in mass for that matter. The movie "Quigley Down Under" is a crude & vague attempt by those hollywood myth makers and historical revisionists in depicting white guilt and recognizing the injustices which simply do not exist in the minds of the overlords, be it yesteryear or today..

Seemed each shot cleaned itself. Black powder. Cap shooter. Real tackdriver. Could light wooden matches @ 100 yards. Modified tight rear crowfoot rear sight & a very thin front blade. Everyone else had to clean their bores every 10 shots or so. The crisco cleaned itself w every shot. Maintained its superb accuracy all day long. On the downside, was shooting into the wind. Got sick as a dog from breathing the smoke. Some kind of poisonous gas is in that smoke.

  • This video is also a really good demonstration of why volley fire was seen as a legitimate tactic in the 1800s and early 1900s. Rifles had sights up to 2500 meters, about 1.5 miles. Many machineguns retained this option for quite long for area fire.

  • I love that Your spotter isn’t even looking in the scope when You touch one off because it takes the bullet takes that long. I shot my first long distant match not long ago. I used a Cimarron 1885 HiWall in .45/90 and YES it kicks! I won’t tell You just how badly I did, but I kept one of the sighter shots for score by bouncing one in to the target while sighting in.

  • As a Aussie, the movie is one of my top 10 movies. Love the single shot sharps. Looking at getting a 44 Magnum Rossi R92 with the octagon barrel as this movie years ago gave me a interest in the pre WW1 style single and lever actions with the heavier octagon barrel, it’s time to make that happen.

  • Mark, if no one has recommended this yet, you should try the Lyman 535 grain Postell bullet, #2640132, also known as the 457132. It is a very close copy of the bullet designed specifically for the chamber in that rifle (the same one I have), and should give you a better BC than that blunt-nosed bullet. Also the Montana Vintage Arms Soule XLR rear sight will give you 414 MOA of elevation. Great shooting!

  • Just ran across your channel. Subscribed! I cast a 525 grain Money bullet from a Buffalo Arms Company (BAC) mould for my Pedersoli Quigley 45-70. It's a very streamlined bullet (B.C. above .440 according to my figuring), has won at least one Quigley match, and BAC offers various diameters and weights up to 560 grains. I shoot mine as-cast, .458" of 20:1 alloy, lubed with either SPG or my home-brew lube, seated so the top lube groove is outside the case. I generally shoot Accurate 5744, and SDs usually hover the teens, so not quite as good as BP, but still quite tight. I've long joked that long mast should be good to about a mile, and it looks like I wasn't far off! I'm actually getting an MVA mid-range buffalo (88 MOA windage adjustment) because I can shoot it without my hat brim hitting it, and it will still provide enough elevation to get me out to at least 1,000 yards...which is about all my peepers will allow.

  • Not easy from standing even while supported, well done! its amazing watching so much squeezed out of an old system, it be interesting to see what you could do with something even older... maybe weapon that started it all, the Baker Rifle.. can you best the legendary Thomas Plunket who legend says shot a French general @700 yds in Napoleonic times using a very 'unconventional' shooting position of laying on his back with his feet towards the enemy, using his foot to steady the rifle while that leg was crossed over the other with the butt tucked under his armpit with this blackpowder terror, and also he also shot his aid who ran to the generals assistance to prove it wasnt a fluke... It was one of the legends of the Regiment I served back in the day...

  • I've got a sharps 58-120gov. It was a sniper rifle in the Civil War. It hasn't been shot in 18 years. I made all the brass for it before I had to sell my machine shop. I re-buttoned the barrel in 2004 cause it was getting shot out. Did not change the bore or the twist, just cleaned up the shoulder of the rifling with a pull through rifling bit. Still danged accurate past 1500 yards. My tang maxes out at 1500. I've rang steel at 1575 with it, but my longest shot on a feral hog was 1350. We made our own black powder and cast our own maxie balls. 750gr hard cast bullets. That thing was a monster, but don't have means to make more brass so I don't shoot it. Can't buy brass for it either.
