Pedersoli 45/70 sharps load

threescrew

I have a Pedersoli 1874 Sharps in 45/70, and I am planning on using hornady 350 gr. round nose bullets and imr 3031 powder. I would like to keep the velocity as high as I can without exceeding the c.u.p. rating which I believe is around 28,000 for this gun. Any help would be appreciated.

WHICH ACTION DO YOU HAVE (SHARPS, OR HI-WALL)?

Sharps. and I'm trying to find out what powder charge to use. I was thinking perhaps around 52 grains of the imr 3031. I believe this would keep me under the max pressure load.

The Sharps, and I was thinking of using 52 grains of imr 3031 and this should be under the pressure rating, but I'm not positive.
