Im shooting a Highwall in 45-125 (which letters via Cody) which Dad left me in his estate. Is there anyone else here who shoots one?

Some of your reloading information. I've used 5744 and cast bullets. Would you recommend the 300 grain jacketed?
Thanks Charlie

Karamojo Bell tried one for a time, but found the 300-gr bullet unsatisfactory for elephant.
If only he had the bullets that sharpsguy uses in his BPCR he might not have traded it in for a small bore.





That cartridge case is bigger than a .45-120-3.25" Sharps, but I wonder what twist rate Winchester used on their .45-125-300 / .45 EX. ?
Seems some of the Winchester 1885 rifles were actually chambered for the Sharps cartridge,
even if the original Sharps rifles were not.
See 485-grain load for the Sharps cartridge:
