Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Shiloh Sharps 45-70 known for?

The Shiloh Sharps 45-70 is recognized for its substantial .45 caliber, 300-grain bullets. It's a rifle that allows for shooting both jacketed and non-jacketed ammunition, offering versatility for different shooting applications and preferences.

Why can you see a target fall before hearing the shot at a distance?

At distances like 200 meters, you can see a target fall before hearing the shot because light travels significantly faster than sound. The bullet impact and subsequent movement of the target are visible almost instantaneously, while the sound wave takes time to travel back to your ears.

What causes dust to kick up in front of a steel target after a shot?

The dust kicked up in front of a steel target is typically caused by lead splatter from the bullet. This splatter hits the ground near the target, creating a visible dust cloud immediately after impact, often before the sound of the gong is heard.

What advice does Hickok45 give to new firearm owners?

Hickok45 advises new firearm owners to conduct thorough research, test-fire various models at rental ranges or with friends, and consider reliability, reputation, and personal shooting proficiency. He emphasizes that preferences can evolve with experience, so initial choices don't need to be permanent.
