That’s cool.
Shot at a Buffalo shoot in MT once with a Sharps rifle, had to use cast lead bullets. When shooting at the 1000 yard target it took forever for the bullet to reach the target. A guy could sit behind the shooter and watch the bullet flight all the way into the target.

I stopped in local shop couple days ago to grab some 45/70.

He had just bought estate of OLD guy.
Boxes and boxes of 38/55, looked to be from the 1950s.
Were marked $2.00.
LOL, I TRIED to buy one for that!

Lots of Weatherby Magnum ammo too, also looked 40-50+ years old.
And crates of reloading stuff!
