Going to go a little old school

I've had a Pedersoli 1874 Sharps replica for a couple years now and found that it is a really accurate rifle despite the sights it came with. But I solved that by installing a new set of iron sights (front and rear) into the existing dovetails. The rear is a ramp style typical U-notch found on rifles like the Marlin Lever guns and the front sight is a 1/16" gold bead. Additionally I installed a Pedersoli vernier tang sight to get me way out there.
I was shooting 405 gr flat nose bullets with a BC of .225 but came across a mold by Lee that cast a 500 grain spire point with a BC of .443. Ordered and on the way. I'll be casting them with a BHN of 19 and powder coating in lieu of lubing.
If I can get it to shoot accurately out to 500 yards I'll be a happy camper.

Well it won't be until late spring. My wife and I are heading to Florida for the winter shortly.

I'm in no hurry. Enjoy your time in Florida!

This is my wife's time. Hunting season is over on Monday. I'll be bored out of my mind until I get back to PA and get to fondle my "babies" in the gun safes!
