Remington No 1 Creedmoor

[Fogman01]

I re-read all these posts and thanks to all of you for advice and your loads, etc. I am getting some better bullets for paper patching closer to the original weights used at Creedmoor. I'll let you know what this rifle does with them. I have several Sharps BPCRs and dearly love shooting the black stuff in them... but shooting an original is just beyond any level of satisfaction I thought I would ever have. I'll never afford a Sharps original or probably never any other original, so this one is it. Worth it! Glad I did it! And a real education in getting to this point! Some one recommended "Long Range Rifle Shooting" from Forgotten Books Press. It is about the first few matches the Americans shot from the first Creedmoor in 1874 through 1877. I am really enjoying that history and shooting this rifle. Half of the Creedmoor rifles in the first match were rolling blocks.
