    what bullets work for loading Pedersoli Sharps brass casings?

    Simply put--outer dimension of the cartridge case is the same as the bullets . the heeled ones made for paper are way too small to function. I'll send pics as soon as my old camera re-charges. I figured sine the brass has been out there awhile, some ingenious individual already came up with the...

    what bullets work for loading Pedersoli Sharps brass casings?

    I've reloaded metallic cartridges on and off since the 60's. This is a one of a kind issue. Just seeing if if I can find out what others using the brass cases on the Pedersoli Sharps came up with.

    what bullets work for loading Pedersoli Sharps brass casings?

    .541 will be just fine if I can get one in the casing. The bullet needs to be heeled or it's pointless .

    Hi Guys, I'm in need of loading those brass cartridge cases for the Pedersoli 1859 Sharps but can't seem to find the correct bullet to snugly fit the casing. Would appreciate any experience story or help with this. Thanks in advance!

    Just tried Graf-- no special on shipping or hazmat showed up. Musta ended. Whatever-- I get emails from everyone. Someone will have a shipping deal soon I hope!

    Pedersoli 1859 Sharps rifle bullet

    I wasn't thinking of using the #11's on the Sharps. The CCI's I have a 4 wing so I'm guessing no good?-- that sux!!

    Pedersoli 1859 Sharps rifle bullet

    Just livin the dream. Always wanted one so decided to throw caution to the wind and go for it. At my age-- it's a now or never thing. Makin babies standing up in a hammock is difficult. This can't be as bad!

    Pedersoli 1859 Sharps rifle bullet

    I appreciate the detailed info. I'm good on caps. Bought a couple hundred musket and about the same number of # 10 and #11 caps a few years back when they were cheap and available. Loading the brass shells should be interesting. Have to discern the best powder charge for 100-200 yr shooting...

    I'll check that out thanks. Had some experience with heeled bullets on an 1889 Bodeo revolver. Appreciate the reply.

    Well bless your heart. Perhaps an anger management group would be of benefit. It's been an interesting conversation. Thank you for your sage advise and perspective.

    Pedersoli 1859 Sharps rifle bullet

    This is a form of research. Reaching out to others who have the same loaded the same shell for the same rifle have first hand experience. Interacting with those who have been there and done that bring real world experience to the matter. It is your duty to verify but I hardly consider reaching...

    Pedersoli 1859 Sharps rifle bullet

    Hey all, Just came by a Pedersoli Sharps 1859 Infantry rifle and I'm going to use the brass cartridge shells . Never loaded a Sharps before. What is the best conical bullet and powder load for general shooting? Appreciate any thoughts.

    What is the cleanest burning black powder?

    I appreciate all the info guys. Seems Swiss is a favorite. I do carry an old wood rod and tips whenever I go out with them. The spray bottle sounds like a winner. I've shot the RST shells and the barrels stay pretty nice. Hoping to get close to that if possible.
