Here you go.
The 1885 High Wall is in 38-55. It shoots standard loads of 150 grains to 300 grains, the latter a heavy load very potent out to at least 300 to 400 yards. Maybe I'll try Billy Dixon's 1874 one mile shot some time to knock a Comanche warrior off his horse. |

Typo. 1885 made by C Sharps in Big Timber Montana in 2016
I figured if those Michigan fellows were getting their modern sporting rifles , I would too. I wouldn't want to be accused of being anti-gun. I leave for Montana in five weeks for the Powder River and Rosebud country. I hope to have a better time of it than the 1876 Reynolds and Crook expeditions and certainly a better time of it than a Michigander did in June of that year. |
