Been trying to get some loading suggestions using smokeless powder
with cast bullets in my sharps rifle...My CONCERN IS PRESSURE issues.
It is a Pedersoli 1874 model..I just want to keep it safe is all..I wrote to the
company,but have never gotten a reply from them..I am certain it will handle
the loading data recommended for the older Trap Door rifles....Let me know what you think please.....John
