I have been lusting after a gorgeous Pedersoli Sharps in .45-70 for about a month now and am about at the end of my resistance to bringing it home.
While I have dumped a lot of .45-70 through the Gatling gun pictured, I have yet to launch it from a 30" barrel attached to the rolling block action of a Sharps.
I'm not recoil sensitive, in fact I like big weapons that push me backwards. Anyone here have experience with the round in a 30" barrel length? How accurate can it be, assuming I do my part? Anyone have group sizes out past 4-500 yards? I want to use it for elk eventually. I hear of shots at out to 1000 yards, but the trajectory is like " shooting a free throw" with drops of 300+ inches when zeroed at 300 even with the lighter bullets loaded.
Any info would be appreciated!
Thanks!
