hello to all,
is there anyone on this great forum who has any experience with the
sharps percussion rifles , i mean the replicas of them ?
i find this very interesting rifles and i would be interested to know if they
could be loaded with loose powder instead of the paper cartridges .
could a filler be used to reduce the power of the load , like one would do with the metallic cartriges such as the 45/70 gov.?
ive learned from the net that they come in the .54 cal for the rifles , and in
.45 cal for the carbines , so how much powder would fit behind the bullet in both these calibers ?
there seems to be little info on the net about these rifles.
i am just asking out of curiosity by the way , i dont own one.
