Thanks fer the replys, pards. I figure it shouldn't be too hard to get 75 grains under that bullet using a compression die. 70 is definitely doable. Out of my 34" barreled Sharps, I should get 1400+ fps at the muzzle, and as I'm a hunter vs. a game sniper (no offense intended to those who shoot critters in the next county; I respect your ability...I just like to brag about how close my shots are), all my shots are 200 yards or less. I imagine wheel weight alloy or softer should perform pretty well at those velocities.
