1874 Pedersolli Sharp and Campro 405gr

[flyingjoss]

Has anyone ever try campro 405gr with their sharp?

Trying to see if I could use these instead of cast bullet with some good accuracy ( .458 diameter ).


Cheers.

OK accuracy with 405gr CamPro & Re7 in my S900 (Pedersoli) Trapdoor Carbine could likely improve with a bit of fine tuning. https://i.imgur.com/ZqzkYCn.jpg / https://i.imgur.com/m5BBwhz.jpg / https://i.imgur.com/LZARHXW.jpg

I bought a bag of Campro 500 gr. I tried them in 2 scope sighted rifles: #1 Ruger and an 1885 Browning. I shot them against the BACO 535 gr Postell. The Campros were slightly more accurate in the 1885 and the Postells were slightly more accurate in the Ruger!!! No conclusions to be drawn from this test!!! Next is my Pedersoli 1874 in 45-90 and Pedersoli Rolling Block in 45-70. I also have a Pedersoli Business rifle in 45-70 so, a few test platforms to play with.
PS: All these tests are fired at 100 yds, over sand bags using IMR4198. The Pedersolis are all equipped with tang sights and front globes and shooting thru 78 yr old eyes, I'm not expecting MOA groups!!!

This might not help...., but I use Campro 300 grs bullets in my marlin 95, and they are very accurate.

I use the Campro 450gr Spitzer in my 1874 Sharps. I have found 38 grains of IMR4198 gives 2270fps seated .010” of the lands, a very accurate load.

that load looks like a kicker.

that load looks like a kicker.

I sounds like a frame sidewall stretcher to me . . 459 win mag pressures/velocity out of an 1874 design action, not something I want to be around when its being fired.
