Double posted too!
Im a lame!
I wanted to comment one last time… 1000 yrd old skool style BR wildcat! Yeah!
Must be big poster sized target for iron sights. Boy my vision certainly isnt the same as it was 25 years ago when I used to shoot iron sights ala Service Class DCM matches! Cant even imagine shooting those kinda distances or anything at distance with iron sights anymore. Lots of holdover too I bet…. Real kentucky style windage eh?
Big artillery for sure!
Kinda hijacked this thread ……..
1000 yd shoots on paper. I don’t hunt big game at that distance, Too much of a chance that you will wound the animal.
BlackPowder doesn’t hurt as much as Smokeless powder. The Shiloh Sharps was 13 1/2 lbs. About 12 shots was enough for the day.
WHOA … WOW!!!!!! Thats a wallop!
Black Powder Loads too ? Yeeeeouch!
What does one shoot with that? Bet it knocks the heck outta those metallic sillouettes! Long range black powder sillouettes? Is thers sucha a contest? Maybe there should be? Might make for good bigbore airgun games too. 100 yrd rams knock em down with a TExxan!
Nope, .45-110 for Quigly.
I had one a bit more powerful in .45 -140 in a Modern Shiloh Sharps with 36″ barrel. Custom caliber using BELL brass. It was based on the .50-140 sharps cartridge. 4.0″ long brass plus bullet. 535 gr lead bullet @ 4800 ft. lbs of energy!
Hey wait a minute wasnt the 4570 used for the quigly down under shot? :4:
Worse then the old Black-powder era .45-70! LOL!
I have a friends texan in the garage and I have had it up to 650 fpe with 372 gr slug. The shroud works good. Gun has some serious kick and can only imagine how loud it is without it.
Same gun make 550 fpe on 3000 psi also with 372 or 480 fpe with 280 gr.
650fpe!? Holy coW!!!
That’s crazy!
Just wonder how far out can it really deliver that mortar? Must drop faster than a balloon filled with mercury.
RL does and it works real good. All metal and comes apart to clean out all the debris.

6 by 6 foot!
Hijack over!
Was wondering if you went subsonic and a heavier bullet you would reduce the noise level especially with a suppressor. You could keep up the fpe that way.
