Here's a 500 grain bullet I use in the Sharps for most hunting applications.

Thats a bullet of my own design. Five hundred grs. at 30:1, 0.30" meplat. Its 1.230" long and carries 3.0 grs. of SPG. When loaded over 73.0 gr of Swiss 1.5, the group for 5 shots is around 6" at 200 yards, using the barrel-sights on my Shiloh, without the use of a blow-tube. Thats min. of buffalo ... good enough to hunt with!
And it drops antelope in their tracks,
