50/70 bullets

[Mike]

I have a new 50/70 from Shiloh Sharps. I have 36 rounds through it so far. 70 grains of Fg KIK, .025 card, 3/16 lube, .025 card and a 425 gr PP bullet.

So far it shoots well.

SB, Is your bullet mold an adjustable one? I recently got one of the KAL molds from Dean to make the Sharps style .50 PP bullets. So far I've mainly used it to make 473 grain bullets for use in the .50/90. I also have Accurate's .50-470T and that works very well in my other .50/70 with a 30" barrel. But with my new .50/70 which has the 26" barrel I'm staying with greasers for a bit, until I'm sure the barrel is broken in. Thanks for your note, I will probably need to try a 425 grain PP, that sounds like a great hunting load. Shoot sharp, Mike
