Maybe I've missed it, but "The Long Shot" by Billy Dixon at Adobe Walls needs a mention:

Thanks, this is great.
Also for the URL.

I have a 45.70 Sharps made in Italy that looks almost identical to that rifle.
With no disrepect meant to Billy Dixon, I'd have to agree that his shot of over 1500 yards with his 45.90 was very lucky.

I have to admire the men who could fire these rifles all day every day. They kick like a bay mule!
