SINGLE SHOT SHOOTERS
Posted: 16 Dec 2012 11:26
Any blackpowder cartridge rifle shooters ?
I've just started shooting 45-70 or Sharps 2 1/10" , in a H R Buffalo Classic, (hey a guys gotta start somewhere).
I did away with the Williams peep, and installed the Pedersoli medium range (cheap) Creedmore style tang sight on a false brass tang I partially inletted into the top wrist of the stock. The rear aperture I drilled out to 0.052" and with the disc close to the eye the Lyman front sight is very clear.
Have been shooting BP only and it's a whole bunch different ! I do have some smokless loads rolled with the Hornady FTX's, but the BP has been so fun I haven't shot one yet !
Would like to hear from anyone elses experiance with their single shots , plus I'm all ears on any how to's !
