I just got my first Sharps .54, a IAB 1859 Business rifle. I have seen a few articles on the loading of the paper cartridges, the question I have, is the bullet separate from the paper cartridge? I have seen where some load the cartridge as just powder wrapped on both ends in paper and the bullet placed in first to engage the rifling.
Anyone else have one of these IAB's that could tell me what the best loading info for this gun is. I was wondering if anyone had any luck with Triple 7 in their .54 Sharps when using paper cartridges. Also, is the proper bullet diameter for the IAB .544? I have to order some bullets (their manual doesn't give you any size at all).
