    Just a point of information regarding the tape on the barrel. This tape on the barrel is to identify the, "Null" point of the barrel. This is the place to rest the barrel to get the best accuracy. The null point is found by holding the barrel muzzle towards the ground by the stock. Then with a large diameter piece of wooden dowel you tap up and down the barrel until you hear the pitch of the sound go flat. This is the null point! Hope that helps, great shooting!

      Not to shit in your salad, but normal vision acuity is 1 MOA resolution, so you should be able to see something as small as 18.4 inches at one mile (1,760 yards)

      Interested in long distance shooting as well. But like an accountant's obsession finding every penny, a long-distance shooter has to be particular about everything. Don't some shooters even worry about barrel temps between rounds?

      @hunterkz2992 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@FilosophicalPharmer I can assure you that the temperature of the barrel is the last thing that affects the accuracy of hitting the target ... Do this experiment - fire 20-30 shots from your rifle recording the hit numbers and see where the first, tenth and thirtieth hits will be .... I think the result will surprise you very much when you see that the last shots do not go anywhere from the first groups ... Except for the fatigue of the shooter ...

      Note that you can squeeze about a 1.2X magnification out of a peepsight if you have the aperture calibrated correctly. Optics are better, obviously, but a peep sight is better than open sights for long distance.

Seemed each shot cleaned itself. Black powder. Cap shooter. Real tackdriver. Could light wooden matches @ 100 yards. Modified tight rear crowfoot rear sight & a very thin front blade. Everyone else had to clean their bores every 10 shots or so. The crisco cleaned itself w every shot. Maintained its superb accuracy all day long. On the downside, was shooting into the wind. Got sick as a dog from breathing the smoke. Some kind of poisonous gas is in that smoke.

    During the Great Cavalry Clash at Little Bighorn, 2 of Renos troopers who had their 500 grain ammo in rifles held back advancing enemy oppossition out to rather secure yardage of about 800-900 yards. 1st Lt he had a Trapdoor Rifle.
    The First Sgt , he had a recently delivered Sharps Buffalo rifle with Scopesight. He earned about 35-40 dollar a month, the rifle in case and gear cost 100 . They found bullets at a area long range with battlefield archeology some yewrs back at angle from position from where he said he was shooting from.
    Since the carbine load were 405 55 grain it was considerable advantage over it ,and likely saved most of Reno 's dug in command.

There is no such dignity nor honor in murdering non combatants, women, children and elders or Buffalo herds in mass for that matter.

    If I could be granted one dream gun it's the Quigley Sharpes.
    Just for nostalgic reasons mine would be in the .45/110.
    Maybe one day lol.
    Great shooting, keep up posted !!!!

    Nice, I have one in 45/110 but have not had time to work up proper loads. Preloaded ammo is not the best and very expensive. I may have to revisit this again since you brought it up.

    I've got a sharps 58-120gov. It was a sniper rifle in the Civil War. It hasn't been shot in 18 years. I made all the brass for it before I had to sell my machine shop. I re-buttoned the barrel in 2004 cause it was getting shot out. Did not change the bore or the twist, just cleaned up the shoulder of the rifling with a pull through rifling bit. Still danged accurate past 1500 yards. My tang maxes out at 1500. I've rang steel at 1575 with it, but my longest shot on a feral hog was 1350. We made our own black powder and cast our own maxie balls. 750gr hard cast bullets. That thing was a monster, but don't have means to make more brass so I don't shoot it. Can't buy brass for it either.

    Not easy from standing even while supported, well done! its amazing watching so much squeezed out of an old system, it be interesting to see what you could do with something even older... maybe weapon that started it all, the Baker Rifle.. can you best the legendary Thomas Plunket who legend says shot a French general @700 yds in Napoleonic times using a very 'unconventional' shooting position of laying on his back with his feet towards the enemy, using his foot to steady the rifle while that leg was crossed over the other with the butt tucked under his armpit with this blackpowder terror, and also he also shot his aid who ran to the generals assistance to prove it wasnt a fluke... It was one of the legends of the Regiment I served back in the day...

    Bloody good shooting and spotting. Bloody good rifle and ammo too. Glad I wasn't tenting near that target.

    I love that Your spotter isn’t even looking in the scope when You touch one off because it takes the bullet takes that long. I shot my first long distant match not long ago. I used a Cimarron 1885 HiWall in .45/90 and YES it kicks! I won’t tell You just how badly I did, but I kept one of the sighter shots for score by bouncing one in to the target while sighting in.

      @@markandsamafterwork I had itch, I couldn’t scratch, so I bought a Cimarron Centennial model in 45/75. Got all the good sights, mould etc. I guess I’ll have to think twice before someone lets Me shoot Their gun! Merry Christmas Y’all. (Yep, another Texan)

    Coming from an archery background I find it much easier to understand the process of shooting with a peep sight.
