That's a different story: I've not been able to try it yet. I'd need to go to a range to do that and that is not an option because of the corona virus precautions.

However, it is scoring very highly on the "fondle-quotient".

That's tough. There is a sparsely attended range here that I count as an "outdoor activity," as permitted under state Stay At Home Order.

Has anybody here ever tried loading a Sharps like a Westley Richards "Monkeytail Carbine?"
Have to have a flash hole through the base wad but it might still seal.

What about smearing lube over the base of the brass cartridge?
