I recently bought one of the Crossno liners and have just gotten started playing with it a bit. At first I was a little concerned about prying empyies out of the Shiloh with a screwdriver but I'm getting over it....
At 25 yards I was putting 'em in the hole from the last shot. I live where there's lots of close neighbors and shooting in the yard is frowned upon. Using CB caps and such and the Sharps does make one heck of a rabbit control rifle for the wife's garden!
It does help you see if your hold is steady and consistent as the rifle don't move much when you touch one off. I do plan on getting it out to some longer range time permitting.

Hmm cb caps for close and quite....
I've been thinking about taking this rig to the prairie dog town and getting some practice adjusting the scope.

CB caps have been evolving in recent years. Remington has some CBee's which for all purposes look like a regular Long Rifle HP and shoot very accurately and quietly. This version seems to load more easily without the use of a pusher.
CCI has some new ammo they label as "Quiet" and it runs a 40 grain bullet around 750 fps. I've shot quite a few of these with good results. These are the two loads I've had the best luck with accuracy wise.
Regular CB's usually use the 29 grain bullet of the short and are a little more erratic on the target.

Here I am again digging up another old thread.
I have been looking at these liners and have a question. Does the rifles extractor engage the rim of the liner when opened or is the rim small enough that the extractor slides on by? Been reading about folks using them in 1874's and rolling blocks but no mentions of the extractor trying to pull the liner out of the barrel when you open the action. Just trying to wrap my head around how they work with the rifle. I am not familiar with the extractor on the 1874 but the rotary extractor in my roller is forceful if the liner traps the extractor I would be afraid something would break.

The extractor will pull the liner part way out if you're not careful. But it's just a simple matter to shove it back in until you remember take it easy opening the action.

Thanks Don. I thought that might be the case. Is the extractor gentle on the 1874's? On my roller once you get the breach block fully open it acts alot like an ejector and wants to throw the case clear. My 13yr old saw these in the shiloh catalog and wants me to get one so he can shoot it.

Just take the extractor out. You don't use it for the .22 anyway.

Jeremy, it'll be the best 160$ you ever spent.
