1863’s were good rifles then and still are.

I’ve always liked the percussion Sharps. I have an original’63 carbine and a Shiloh rifle and carbine. I have found that they all shoot quite well with original loads. I did do a little polishing on the Shilohs.
Cleaning them isn’t as much trouble as some people make it out to be.
Making cartridges does take time, but so do metallic cartridges.
Now days with shortages of reloading components it seems easier to get a ‘63 shooting than a’74.
