Just thought that I'd throw this out there for ya'll. It was an excellent load for my Sharps.

535grn hard cast Postell from Buffalo Arms with SPG lube
Win. brass; holds a little more powder
FGM large rifle primers
65grns Goex Cartridge, slightly compressed and topped with veggie wad

Sadly, I no longer have this rifle. But boy, could it shoot!
 
I use a similar load, except with a 215 primer and Swiss 1 1/2F, pre-compressing before seating the bullet. This will ALWAYS put 'em under 10" at 500 yards on a cool calm day, and ALMOST ALWAYS under 7". My best group is 3 shots measuring 3 3/8"/500 yards. Sights are from Lee Shaver.
