I put in for a raffle on a buffalo hunt on Kodiak Island Alaska.

Chances are slim for my ticket to be picked but I will be ready with my 1874 Shiloh Sharps in 45/70.

Dumb question,is the 45/70 enough?? I will be using 525 grain cast bullet over 61 grains BP.

What it the velocity of that load? What nose shape? Bobw

BobW,
I would guess that the velocity may be in the area of 1600 fps.

The bullet is 525 grain cast lead somewhat roundnose a flat spot about 38 caliber up front.

I will be going to the nearby outdoor range tomorrow to fire 40 rounds and get the tang sights sighted in.
