[Kurt]

Robert Brian from Shiloh has the patent of the patch rolling machine sharps used.

If you stop and think for a minute.
In the late 1860's and into the early 1870's cartridge rifles where just changing over from the muzzle loaders and those guys where just starting to figure out how to load the cartridges as well as how to patch and load this new fangled way of shooting. The guys now days that grew up shooting auto loaders and smokeless cartridge rifles and now changing over to shooting black powder rifles and casting lead bullets and starting to switch over to the PP are in that learning curve like the ODG's where. In our time we have the advantage of guys that have shot these projectiles for a lot longer time frame than the ODG's did and now days the new guys if they listen to the guys in some cases that have shot black powder cartridge rifles most of their life will find what works a lot faster. They already have gone through the learning stage the in the 20 to 60 years they have been shooting.
Guys shooting the long range matches are shooting a lot better scores and groups now days with the original design rifles of old than they did in the hay days of the Creedmoor range.
