RE: Period correct '74 Sharps Buffalo Rifles?
Thanks Don, 1.327 should be plenty good for me as a hunting bullet, it should weigh 460-470 grains, that weight spun up good and tight should help it penetrate straight, I'm putting all my faith in You, Kurt and all the old buffalo hunters with the 44-77 SBN, don't think I'll be left lacking.

Kurt, good deal and Thanks, I have a case of OE2F, what would be the guesstimated velocities from 75 grs OE2F under a 460-470 gr bullet, 1350 fps?

The good flat trajectories will put the sight correlation marks a bit close together, but, I'll bet I can manage that just fine.
