Old school still shoots good!

My Pedersoli Quigley sharps in 45-90. I am still working up a load and went to the range and popped off some cast Postell bullets (530 grain) on top of 78 grains of Goex "F" powder. I had a one hole group going until I started pulling my shots after getting big headed looking through mu scope (100 yards). After I messed that up I blasted my last 5 shots and called it a day. The sun was way to bright and the target was dancing and looked like a blob.

A quick clean up with Balistol and back in the rack.

Yep, they'll shoot alright. I have a Pedersoli in 45-70 and it's a great rifle.

Need yourself a longer range, that bullet's got long legs. It takes the long way round, but it'll get there just the same.

I love those sharps rifles. I have been lusting over a shiloh ever since I began shooting.

Me too.
I moved out some stuff I was not using and got into mine at a decent cost. It really is a fun gun to shoot.

Now I have my Baldwin sight to install......
