Hello

[GavenAZ]

Well I picked up a Lyman ideal sharps in 45-70 to get my feet wet.
I figured that if I liked the cartridge it would be an excuse to start saving for a Shiloh or the like.

I was playing around with a Lyman 405 gr cast round , sized down to .458.
The reason I say WAS, is because I now have the tang peep off while waiting on a windage adjustable sight to come in.

I ended up here while looking at recommendations for paper patching. Seems like a fun loading method with the right paper and round.

Slow and steady though. Thank you for the welcome.
