40 sbn

[Caprock]

Sarge the 40-70 SBN has been around along time, it's one of the older Sharps rounds and it was a std chambering in the #1 Mid Range rifle thru 1876 This fact alone should tell you of the fine accuracy it is capable of. I sincerely doubt that anyone can bring it out using today's overszed chambers, 2 Fg, and greasers. bobw

Yep, and despite what Cartridges of the World says it was around far earlier than 1876. The three original chamberings for Sharps were the 40-70 sbn; 44-77; and 50-70. I wish I knew back when ordering what I know now, thats not much but its an improvement, about chambers and such. Would love to have a dedicated PP chamber for the one I have.
