One of the local cowboy action fellows had his new Pedersoli Sharps in .45/70 at the club on Saturday. He was testing loads using commercial 405gr. Cast bullets and SR4759 powder. His first three shots at 100 meters off bags went in just under 2" with the factory iron sights, 24.0 or 26.0gr. IIRC. I did notice the small firing pin indents, which is good & means these rifles do not have the huge BP firing pins. It seemed to me to not be as finely made or finished as the C.Sharps Arms or Shiloh Arms Model 74 Sharps. That is the only "negative" I can attribute to them. The block's spring seemed excessively strong as well, but I have read these rifles are competitive in BPCR events. The Rolling Block a buddy of mine shoots in .45 2.4" by Pedersoli, however was very nicely done - I was impressed with it. sentence correction about firing pin |
