This like the old Redfield Sourdough frt sight really catches the light. I then filed the back side a small 45° angle flat at the top. 345" from the bottom of the groove in the dovetail base to the top. The one I did following Bill's suggestion ended up cut down to. Replacing that blade is not to hard with a cut down pre 1982 penny. One item to mention is that the German silver front blade does not pickup light real well early or late in the day. Bill Bagwell who has been mentioned many times in this forum was a master with them. Having said that none of my Shilohs have sullied by that new fangled smokeless powderĭogwater, a guy can do a pile of good shooting with iron sights depending on where you hold the blade in the notch. Lastly, there are some really knowledgeable folks here, on the Shiloh Forums, and on Cast Boolits Forums who can give you general advice, or very specific advice on every aspect of he feeding, caring for, and shooting these great rifles.Īccording to Kirk Bryan the Shiloh Sharps will handle any load the Ruger #1 can. The Universal Solvent (water) is all you need to clean it if using properly lubed cast lead bullets.įourth, you can accurately hit stuff a long way off with those sights, you just have to figure out what the sight picture is for each range.īuffalo Arms Co (BACO LINK) is the go-to source for a lot of what you will need. It's not the arcane, voodoo, super difficult method that some make it out to be, and it certainly will not rust your rifle immediately after firing. Third, get started on the Black Powder loads now. Second, there's nothing on the face of the earth that cannot be killed, cleanly and quickly with a 500gr bullet traveling at 1250fps.
