Loading the Sharps

mannyCA · July 21, 2014, 10:51 PM

Thought I'd show how I load my Pedersoli Sharps using brass cartridges. Although not traditional it is fun. I've also done the combustible paper thing but feel this is a bit easier for the beginner. I wish someone had a video like this when I first started out.

I've gotten 3-4" groups at 100 yards off-hand with this load. Been able to hit the 12" gong at 230 yrds no problem, POA. In one of my other videos I was test firing at 70 yards and had to hold it about 6" below the target.

That's neat, but this what I use & these are very cheap.
