[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 1941892, member: 9551"] I shoot this cartridge in a 1878 Sharps Borchardt (no hammer!). I like to use .223 Remington data as a starting point and work up from there. I have a 28 inch 9 twist nitrocarburized barrel. I use the formed brass from EA Brown. I size the necks and seat with Wilson dies. I try to keep the pressure down so I only have to neck size. I have one ground squirrel trip with it, 200 rounds, my choice was 55 gr Ballistic Silvertips over VV N-135 at 3299 fps. I shoot paper and clay pigeons at the back wall of the club range at 550 yards with 69gr Match Kings and 70 gr RFDs. [/QUOTE]
