Hi All,
I am relatively new to the Sharps Carbine world. I have using a Smith and Maynard for over 20 years, and wanted to try my hand at a Sharps (just for a chance of pace). The tubes Charlie Hahn produces helps a lot n the cartridge making that's for sure. My question si do people use filler in these tubes for a Sharps (like a Smith or Maynard may use), or do you generally fill the tube with BP and not filler? I have read many posts that say filler in a Sharps is not a good thing, then I read some people using a filler substance like a wad or paper rolled into a ball, etc.
What advice do you Sharp shooters have on this question?
Thanks!
