[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 1466366, member: 99039"] I have a David Pedersolli 45-120 sharps, it is very accurate, when I was loading it, I was using clean shot black powder I don't believe they make that anymore, and used 500gr Hornady jacketed soft point. It was very accurate, I carried it deer hunting, one time, and shot an 8 point buck at 100yds, it had a 45 caliber entry wound and a 50 caliber exit wound, buck ran 50 yards and fell over dead. That was the least damage meat I have ever harvested, if that was my 270 or 7mag, it would have been two damaged shoulders gone to the dogs. The only thing I did not like about it is the weight, that 34" octagon heavy barrel put the weight of that rifle unbearable for toting in the brush or up a tree stand. [/QUOTE]
