Timberghost, after reading your response I see that you are, indeed, EXACTLY the person who should be loading lead and real gunpowder. For most of us, it terribly complicates one's life. But your life is so complex already that you need simplification. And, here the passionate pursuit of recovering the lost art of real riflery will cause you to dismiss those 24 different rounds to the dusty back corners of your basement, or better, off to ebay with them!

Then sit down and learn the One True Way!

PS. The lovey young wife and offspring will be a great help in cutting paper patches, prepping brass, rolling patches, stirring the lube pot, etc.

Pedersoli proofs their rifles with loads making 30% higher pressure than the hottest commercial avaliable load. When asked thats what they answered in a Fax. So 37000+30%=48100psi. A 405 grain jackted in front of 58 grains Vv N135 gives @2000fps out of a 32" barrel, and that's a mild load .

If you want to shoot loads like that, why do you buy a Sharps in the first place? Seems very odd to me.
