.52 cal Sharps ammo.

[garloll]

I am looking at buying a Sharps .52 cal paper cutter rifle. Can a person reload ammo for them or are they just a wall hanger?

Although I have not done it personally, it has been done fairly easily. I'm not sure if Dixie Gun Works has a kit for the .52 Sharps or not. What you need is a tapered dowel, some nitrated paper (possibly cigarette paper), FFg black powder, and, of course bullets of the proper diameter (slug the barrel). I'm sure others who have done this will chime in with more details.

Here's few I make and tool I made to form the tubes.
