Thank you. I know it made for a big grin to basically clover leaf 3 shots in a 2” Bull at 90 yards. If I can do my part to carry that accuracy farther out I’ll be in for a fun treat for sure. Cullie.

Thanks Slim! 3 hours 7 min Drive definitely not too far for me! Appreciate the heads up and will be visiting those folks. With only knowing my 100 and roughly 200 yd MOA’s right now I don’t feel I’m ready to get in the way. But! I may just attend tomorrow as a non shooter to see what I can learn! Thanks again! Cullie

Thank you. Looking forward to longer distance targets. I have found tons of archived threads from you guys and it’s helped me tremendously. I went with the Kelley Soule and Lee Shaver front globe with spirit level, it’s remarkable how disciplined a good set of sights can make you be on the bench or sticks. Still have a lot to learn but man is it fun learning! Thank you guys for putting in the labor and sharing all the knowledge. Cullie

Anyone find it alarming that I’m at 36 MOA for my 100 yard zero? Read a lot of posts about other folks “come ups” seems a lot of the 45/70 guys are in the 20’s on the staff for 100 yd. I realize the sight and rifle combo makes a lot of difference.

But you get an E for Effort! Thank you.

I believe there is a 12 pound 2 oz limit on rifle.

Didn’t I read somewhere that my pedersoli sharps won’t meet the requirements for NRA match?

Just installed my Kelley Soule and Shaver globe today.

Thank you PK! I’ve been on the site looking around. Very exiting stuff! I’d also like to attend the January Iron Man shoot.

Looking forward to a Buffalo shoot in may at Illowa Irregulars. 300 yds will be a good starting point for me. Can’t wait!

Thank you! I checked them out and watched the videos of the Buffalo shoot. They are holding 3 shoots in 2024 and I’m 3 hours 57 min from Milan Illinois. Well worth the drive for me!

Currently in Oklahoma for a rodeo so went to visit the Western Heritage Museum. Neat place!

North central, on 36 between Chillicothe and macon

I will check them out thanks! I’ll have the wife look them up on fb.

I was hoping OLG would come across this. I’m not very good at navigating this media stuff.

Thanks. I just prescribed yesterday.

Looking for any information on BPCR events such as long range or Buffalo shoots in or around Missouri. Thanks. Cullie Halfcock

Uriah i found it to be human error on my part. The load I thought I was replicating was actually 63.5 g of 1.5F shutz, in a REM Case. I loaded some Starline with 62 g 2F Swiss and they shot well today. No problems ejecting. Also loaded some with no compression and those grouped well also. I believe 57.5 g Swiss. Thanks for the info.

Interesting you have a grease groove exposed. I’m new at this and found that there is a million ways to do it. I had 10 rounds loaded from last fall that I shot today, the gun like them!! Turns out they was once fired REM. Brass. I should be whipped like a rented mule for my lack of note taking!

Thanks guys! Yes they chambered easily, after firing they stuck a little and left a friction mark on the case. Not horrible but had to push them back in and eject a few times to get them out. Shot several rounds prior to that with no issues that I thought was the same load. I backed off in increments and made up 3 different 5 round loads to try tomorrow. The bulge was not there off the press……. Only after firing…… and one more note, they did seem HOT!

Actually there is an outlier and that’s the primer. I used REM No. 9 1/2 and usually use Winchester

Same rifle new brass

Looks like a good place to post my problem. Worked up some BP loads for my 45/70 sharps today and noticed the cases bulged near the base which made them troublesome to eject. New Starline brass with a recipe from my notes. 2f Swiss with .216 compression, Montana 535 Postell. Been a while since I’ve loaded and the amount of compression made me second guess my previous load notes. They chambered flawlessly so I don’t think I bulged the case with the press. Any words of wisdom? Thanks, Cullie Halfcock. forgot to add- 63.5 grains weighed and 0.30 vegi wad.
