Been working on a load for the 1863 Sharps. I think I have a winner- 5 shots, 4 into one hole, 1 called flyer

And with the P61 Musketoon- 5 shots into about 1.5inx2in at 100yds. Iron sights- post and notch

And with the last Sharps- 50yds, 3 shots into bottom hole, 2 shots into the higher hole.

Hey wait a minute... I was there!
At least when you were leaving.
Fine shooting. Wish I could say the same for my time.
 
That is some damn fine shooting! I'd take those groups in a heartbeat. I spent the afternoon shooting a .50 cal Hawken with .490 Hornady round ball, .010" lubed patch and 80 gr. of Goex. I'd like to work more on load development but my accuracy is more dependent on my ability to see the sights and the target. At about 80 yd the blurry front sight just about covers the bull. Yes I am old...

I resemble that remark quite a bit. I used to have 20/10 but not any more. I'm using 1.00 readers to keep the front post in sharp detail and it helps quite a bit.
