I don't have any personal experience with the Sharps, but do have a lot of experience with the 1861 Springfield & Minie balls. I just love my Springfield and...
... Sharps ... and ... I have a IAB Sharps 54 cal. and shoot the brass cart. in it. It does real well, after I got the right bullet mold. Lots of fun, shoots ...
