Great job, I can hardly wait for that old Sharps to make smoke.... 
If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.

Cool. We are looking forward to hearing how well it shoots.

Yup...It Shoots!
50 yds / 430g LEE / 70g Shockey FFG / CCI LR Mag Primers
Bench rested:
Off Hand:
I drifted the sight over and the next few shots were spot on windage.
Interestingly, I made a front sight out of a brass door lock key. Made it tall and took a file to the range. With a 6-O'clock hold, at 50yds, it was near perfect elevation!
Tomorrow I'll load some more ammo and take it out to 100yds and 200yds

That should take a deer without any trouble. Looks accurate, and they usually get better after a break in period. You did a nice job.
