Using Quick Load Program When moving into unpublished powder loads I like to use the Quick Load software. It gives you an indication of case fill, powder burn, pressure and velocity. Don't take the data at face value. I usually use a very light load compared to the data and then adjust the...

Cast Bullets in 9mm Spent some time working with cast bullets for my 9mm semis. What I ended up with was: 1. Barrels slugged at .356" (Shield), .355 (Walther) 2. Used a 38 mold, 120g, lead round nose, that drops at .358" 3. Resized to .357, used ALOX lube. 4. Loaded the above on top of...

45ACP Powder I use Bullseye for all my 45 ACPs. 5g of powder behind a 230g plated round nose for plinking.

Loads for 327 I've spent a lot of time working with my 327 Blackhawk. Here's what I came up with: 100g plated flat nose, 10.8g of ACC #9, V=1370 fps Cast Lead flat nose 115g, with gas check Lyman #2 lead, 9.8g of 2400, V=1318fps. Both of the above loads are accurate and the cast bullet...

Red Hawk My last gun was a 454 Casull Ruger Red Hawk. I Sold a Tarus Raging Bull that was for crap. The Red Hawk is Great.

I wonder if they would would donate the loose lead to me for casting. I'll get it out of their country so they can't throw it at each other.

My favorite black hawk is in 327 Magnum. Had a custom mold made for 115 grain flat nose bullet with a gas check. I used 20:1 lead. It shoots a 1/2" group at 15 yds. I love the gun. You can't go wrong with a black hawk.

My truck gun is a Russian SKS. It hits about 10 MOA, but looks scary.

I also use a Lee turret press, though I only have one turret and switch my dies whenever I change. I do recommend Midway USA, they have everything you might need. The compression die is a good idea for your black powder loads, without it you can't get more than about 60 grains into a 45-70...

Loads for your Sharps I just tried my 45-70 Sharps out at 200 yds with the creedmore tang sights. The attached picture shows a 10 shot group, its about 6". I've shot about 300 rounds fine tuning my loads for smokeless powder. The following seem to work well with a velocity of around 1550 fps...

This is my sharps with the creedmore tang. I also agree lugging this 13 lb monster to the tree stand will take some effort. I still can't wait until November.

Mullins, I strongly recommend getting the creedmore sight with it. I'm old and have tri-focals. These creedmore sights allow the target and front sight to both be in focus. I also use the Hadley eye piece, which rotates to provide different peep diameters. I use the large peep in the woods and...

I purchased a 1874 Pedersoli "Quigly" Sharps last month, with a creedmore sight. Love the thing. For the first time I can actually shoot a tight group at 150 yds. I've also decided on a set of smokless reloads that work well with the gun. It shoots smokless and black powder equally well.
