Does anyone know what steel C. Sharps uses for their 1885 HiWalls?

Same alloy that Shiloh uses, 8620.
8620 is very common for gears, ring and pinions etc.

From the Shiloh web site:
"Our Company manufactures everything from our own barrels down to the screws we use to assemble your rifle. In 1996 we started our own Foundry and so all your sharps parts are cast in house which makes the quality control exceptional. We built this Foundry as the last step in producing everything in house. Each part that goes into your rifle is cast out of 4140 steel and then taken next door (Shiloh) to our machine shop where the work begins."

When did they change to 8620?

He was talking about a C. Sharps 1885 not a Shiloh.
