50-70 Shiloh Sharps Military Rifle

[Eric Johanen]

Time for another run with the Shiloh Military Rifle and paper patched ammo. Fired, neck sized Bertram brass, CCI BR2 primer,70 grains of Swiss 1.5, OJ card wad compressed to .518, 1/8th inch DGL lube wad topped with another OJ card. BACO Swaged pure lead 500 grain bullet patched to .500 diameter. Seated by hand into the case and it is a nice snug fit. OAL is 2.550. I'll be testing these along with the Accurate 51-465S bullet and 72.0 grains of OE on Monday and will post a report.
