Period correct '74 Sharps Buffalo Rifles?

[Gunner500]

.438.,446 Got it, Thanks Kurt and JB, closer would indeed be fun Kurt, that's a fine looking rifle, and 10lbs is very nice to hunt, my #3 Sporter 45-70 weighs exactly that, great to carry and hunt with.

Thanks Don, got the numbers and have a call in to Brooks for a paper patch mould.

JB, yes, I'll love this rifle, after smacking a cape buffalo and zebra with my 45-70 and an eland and sable bull with my 50-90 I need to find some heavy game to try this new 44 out on.

Going with a 1.327" length paper patch bullet with a 200 thou flat meplat for hunting.
