Cheers,I was told a LONG time ago that anything above 1200 fps in a long barreled Sharps was a "balistically unstable" load.Yea or Nea?Sounds like another old wives' tale. 540 some gr slugs are pushed 1340's with slighly longer cases-- or the 2.1 throated long to accomodate more powder. They have no trouble getting good accuray to 1000 yds.I could see some lot numbers of powders not being able to generate that speed and still produce that kinda accuracy though. I've run the Postell to 1300 otta a conventionally throated 45/70 with good accuracy albeit at short range--- using 3F. Readily admit though my accuracy loading is just under sound at 1095 making a solid moa.
