I took my Winchester and baby sharps in 44-40 out today to check the load I want to use. I shot at 50 yards from a good rest(a little windy). the sharps shot the best(peep sight may have helped), with the Winchester 53 bring up the rear(open sights used). top target was shot six times with the sharps and the bottom target was shot 6 times with the Winchester. the load was 200gr JFP with H4227 powder at 1600 fps. after shooting I stopped at a friends farm and saw a ground hog out and put a sneek on him and got with in 50 yards or so and shot him off hand with the sharps.
