Have a chance to pick one up. It’s .54 cal. and is at a descent price and new. Was sort of thinking about it?
My problem is, I know absolutely nothing about these? Never shot a breech loading black powder rifle? Also wondering about ammunition? Building a cartridge??
I’m strictly a round ball shooter with the exception of mini’s for my 1861 Springfield, Zouave’s.
Thought I’d maybe try something new? Again, I know absolutely nothing when it comes to shooting a Sharps rifle or any other breech loader? Don’t know if it’s something I’d like or not?
I’d appreciate your input if you shoot these or know anything about what I’ve mentioned above. Would also like to hear the pro’s and con’s about this rifle or its type.
I’m in no hurry to by it! What information you share with me will be a factor in my decision. In the mean time I’ll continue to research.
Lets call this Sharps 101?
Enquiring minds want to know?
God Bless and Merry Christmas my friend’s!
Respectfully, Cowboy
