[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 347413, member: 2736"] That was a sharps or a rolling block cartrige rifle and I think the original poster was talking about a muzzleloader. I agree that the black powder cartrige rifles were much more accurate because they were breach loaders and the bullet engraves on the way out instead of on the way in as in a muzzleloader. that was the principle behind the Mini ball (It expanded on firing engraving on it's way out like modern rifles). And I'll bet if you could ask Billy Dixon how he made that shot he would tell you it was 80 % luck and 20 % skill. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
