I recently purchased some lead .52 caliber lead bullets to incorporate in paper bullets that I am making to shoot in my original 1863 Sharps carbine. These bullets are oversize from the breech end of the barrel by 8/1000 and by 11/1000 at the muzzel end. I am using Dixie Gun's nitrated paper and Mike Cumpston's (Guns Magazine) formula of 80 grains of FFg Goex behind that 395 grain Dixie bullet. I am using Dynamite Nobel percussion caps. Anyone see any problems?
Thanks. Painless.
