It is my great pleasure to introduce Dakota Dick Savage as a new member of

the ―staff‖ for The American Sharps Shooters. If you don‘t yet know about

Dakota Dick, you are sure about to learn. He is a very well known and

highly accomplished Sharps shooter. Rather than try to list any of his

―claims‖ here let‘s just say that his recommendations and comments about

shooting come from ―behind the buttplate‖ because that‘s where he likes to

spend most of his time. We can also briefly say that last year Dick placed in

the top 10 at the Quigley doin‘s and he also made a one-shot kill on the

buffalo range. His buffalo hunt story appears just a few pages away and he

also offers some good technical recommendations on our Outstanding

Products pages. Having Dakota Dick ‗on our side‘ adds a great deal to our

reading here, so sit back and enjoy the things he‘ll share with us.—Mike

THE BILLY DIXON RIFLE

By Mike Nesbitt

This is a rifle you won‘t find in the C. Sharps Arms‘ catalog. When I saw one it was on the ―In Stock

Gallery‖ on the C. Sharps Arms‘ website. That showed this rifle as a standard Hartford Model 1874 Sharps but

with its #1 ½ Heavy barrel 32-inches long in .50-90 caliber. It also came with the book, The Life of Billy

Dixon as well as a calendar with the print of The Buffalo Wallow Fight. Those are all rather interesting

ingredients so I asked John Schoffstall if the #1 ½ Heavy octagon barrel was going to become a standard option.

He said, ―No, I‘ve only got eight of those barrels.‖ With that information I pondered long and hard, for maybe

30 seconds, before telling John to send me that rifle!

Who was Billy Dixon? I can‘t just assume that everyone knows. Back in 1874 there was a well

remembered fight with a large number (some say it was over 1,000) Comanche, Kiowa, Cheyenne and probably

some ‗Rapahoes attacked a group of less than 30 buffalo hunters at Adobe Walls in the panhandle of Texas.

Billy Dixon was one of those buffalo hunters. During the battle he shared a window while shooting next to

another buffalo hunter who is better remembered, who later became a sports editor for a New York newspaper.

That other hunter was Bat Masterson. But Billy Dixon is remembered more for just one shot he made at the

Battle of Adobe Walls.

On the third day of the battle, a group of mounted Indians was seen on a bluff just about 7/8ths of a mile

away. Some of the other hunters urged Billy to try a shot at them with the rifle he was using, a borrowed

Sharps ―Big .50.‖ Billy did try and he got one! The distance for that shot was later surveyed and it was

established to be a full 1,538 yards! This quote is from his book, ―I was admittedly a good marksman, yet this

is what might be called a ‗scratch‘ shot.‖ Billy Dixon was also involved in The Buffalo Wallow Fight in 1874

where he and five others fought against a large number of mounted Indians. Every one of the scouts and

soldiers laying in the buffalo wallow was wounded and at least one of them died. Dixon was able to get away

from the wallow and go for help. For that he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

The Billy Dixon Rifle by C. Sharps Arms is not being offered as copy of the one he used at the Battle of

Adobe Walls. To the best of my knowledge no one has any record of that rifle‘s specific features such as sights

or barrel length, or even a photo of the gun. Dixon never did describe that rifle in any way other than calling it

a big ―.50.‖ So, rather than suggesting this rifle closely duplicates the gun that Billy Dixon used in 1874, let‘s

look at this special offering of the C. Sharps Arms Model of 1874 as an excellent tribute to the shooting skills of

Billy Dixon.

This special rifle is offered only in .50-90 caliber and it features a #1 ½ heavy octagon barrel. That

barrel‘s length can be 30, 32, or 34 inches. Other features of this rifle follow the standard Hartford

characteristics such as the military style stock with the straight grip and military style steel buttplate, plus the

silver nose cap on the forearm. It also has the

standard sights on the barrel which include the

silver blade at the front and the buckhorn sight

at the rear. Other sights can be ordered as

options. While The Billy Dixon Rifle really

can‘t be called a copy of the gun Dixon used,

it certainly does follow along with

characteristics rather common with the .50

caliber Sharps rifles that were used by buffalo

hunters. The heavy barrel is a good part of

those characteristics and this rifle, with a 32

inch barrel, weighs 13 pounds.

Being offered with that rifle was a copy of the book ―The Life of Billy Dixon‖ and a C. Sharps Arms

calendar from 2006 that features Randolph L. Wright‘s painting ―Buffalo Wallow Fight with Billy Dixon.‖

Getting that ―expired‖ calendar might not seem like much but I‘m going to trim the print of the painting off and

frame it. Both the book, which I have reviewed in Outstanding Products, and the print are welcome additions to

the Sharps or Old West décor that is, hopefully, well represented in my ―man cave.‖

Now, about that rifle, I took it shooting

just once before wanting a peep sight for it.

That was a cold freezing day although we

didn‘t have a lot of snow. I called that a

―mackinaw and mittens day‖ and I did dress

accordingly. And the rifle shot rather well too

but it was hitting too low with the buckhorn

rear sight in its down position and hitting too

high with the ladder raised but at its lowest

setting. And the loads I used that day were

simply the 450 grain .50-70 bullets over 90

grains of FFg, mainly for fire-forming brass.

Soon after that, just about as fast as the mail would

allow, a new Deluxe Mid-Range tang sight from C. Sharps

Arms which was equipped with a Hadley adjustable disc was

added to this rifle. That adjustable disc is quite the thing and

for my eyes it was turned to its largest aperture right away.

Shooting with the .50-90 has always been something

that is either liked a great deal or simply not liked at all.

This cartridge was developed in or about 1872 for extended

range shooting for the buffalo harvest. To me that means the

.50-90 was made as a hunting rifle. But even back in the

1870s other cartridges such as the .44-90 and the .40-90 had

much better reputations for long range accuracy.

That reputation holds true today and the smaller bore

sizes certainly get better scores at long range. This is also reflected in the bullets that are most common for

today‘s shooter. The popular bullets for the .50-90 today are generally of weights from 550 grains on up to 700

grains. Those heavy bullets do hold their speed better than the lighter bullets and the barrels on today‘s .50-90

rifles are generally rifled with a twist (1 in 26‖) that welcomes and stabilizes those heavier bullets the best.

However, I want to use my .50-90 more as a hunting rifle where a shot beyond 200 yards would be very

rare. Also, I wanted to shoot ammunition that copied the old original ammo more closely. The ―old load‖ used

a 473 grain paper patched bullet and Sharps always

loaded that over 100 grains of powder. The ―.50-90‖

title is just a bit younger, probably the designation of

the popular U.M.C. loading. My search for a bullet

mould to make bullets like the old 473 grainers

brought me nothing so I contacted Tom Ellis at

Accurate Molds again.

That resulted in Accurate Molds‘ #50-470T, a

tapered .50 caliber paper patch mould that was

intended to weigh 470 grains when cast with

wheelweight metal. The actual weight of the bullets

These cartridges are loaded with the new 50-470T bullets I‘ve cast with this mould are closer to 480 grains but

that is still well within the ball park. I‘ll be saying more a lot more about this bullet in coming issues, in both

the .50-90 and the .50-70, but for now let me talk mostly about this rifle.

With those bullets wrapped in two wraps of 9 pound paper, they were loaded over 90 grains of GOEX

FFg powder, plus a card wad, then a 1/8‖ disc of BPC Lube, and then a felt wad under the bullet. In the Billy

Dixon Rifle those are performing very well and, to say the least, I‘m very pleased. Most of my shooting has

been done at only 50 yards but at this time I‘m basically still sighting-in. One shot was taken at a small (7‖)

round gong at 100 yards. I held the front sight right on target and squeezed off the shot. When the smoke

cleared in front of me I expected to see the gong swinging back and forth but no, it was simply gone! The Big

.50 had knocked that swinging gong right off of its chains.

My best target, one that I shot just

before taking the solitary shot at that small

gong, was at 50 yards from the bench. There

is a large hole in the ―corner of the ten ring‖

where three bullet went through with two

other shots just a bit wider.

While I am proud enough of that

group to show it to you here, I will continue to

try to do better. Also, if any little tricks or

quirks are discovered in the making,

wrapping, or loading of those bullets, that

information will be passed on in coming

issues. All I‘m really saying is that I most

certainly expect to be able to tell you more

about shooting with this Billy Dixon rifle as

time goes on.

One thing I have not done yet with this

Five shots with the paper patch bullets from 50 yards. rifle or the loads that I am favoring with it is to

shoot some bullets across the chronograph. That will be done and a report shall follow.

There is another side to shooting the .50-90 that I will comment on, perhaps because some readers will

be looking for notes on this particular characteristic. That is the famous recoil of the ―Big .50 Sharps.‖ Let me

begin by relating a part of Billy Dixon‘s own story. During the Battle of Adobe Walls, Billy climbed to the top

of a pile of grain sacks which were being used to ―bar the door.‖ Billy could shoot through an opening at the

top of the door and he found a target so he fired his shot with a Big .50. The recoil of the rifle knocked him

right off of his perch. He fell to the floor and made such a clatter while falling into other things that people

inside that building thought he‘d been hit and maybe killed. Yes, the Big .50 does have a kick to it.

My own stories about the recoil of the .50-90, however, are nothing like that. And let me admit that is

one reason why I do favor the bullets of 500 grains and lighter, they don‘t kick quite as much. I will also try

some loads in this .50 X 2 ½‖ case with 100 grains of powder, like the original Sharps loads, just to see if

anything in accuracy or velocity is to be gained. The recoil of the Big .50 is noticeable, yes, but in this 13

pound rifle it hasn‘t made me shy of shooting at all.

As you can tell, this story is far from over even though I‘m concluding it for now. I have more shooting

to do but it was my desire to get this story out just in case one of you would also be interested in having one of

these Billy Dixon Rifles. Even as I say that, I don‘t know how many of the #1 ½ Heavy .50 caliber barrels are

still available. This is actually a standard C. Sharps Arms Hartford version of the 1874 Sharps with a special

heavy barrel in .50-90 only and currently they are listed at $2535.00 including the book and calendar with

the picture.

Here’s the same rifle with the tang sight installed and the barrel sight removed.

THE LIFE OF BILLY DIXON Reviewed by Mike Nesbitt

The Life of Billy Dixon is really quite a good look back into history.

This book was actually told by Dixon to his wife, Olive, when Dixon was

about sixty years old. Billy Dixon died shortly after his wife got the notes for

this book completed and then she had the assistance of a writer put it all together.

While The Life of Billy Dixon is listed as being written by Olive Dixon, it is

really an autobiography and it is written in first-person.

Being written in first-person is great because it puts the reader more

―right there‖ as the story unfolds. And details are given very well, so well that

in some cases I wonder if certain details weren‘t changed slightly, perhaps

because Dixon was no longer available to explain what he might have meant.

One of the things I‘m thinking about as an example takes place after

Dixon and the others were rescued following the Buffalo Wallow Fight. Dixon

said that their rescuers had to move on and they didn‘t leave them any rifles.

They didn‘t leave any ammunition either because the cartridges the troopers

carried wouldn‘t fit their rifles. That makes me guess some of the troopers

were carrying .45-70s while others were still armed with .50-70 Springfields.

That was in 1874 and while the .45-70 was introduced in 1873 the .50-70

wasn‘t replaced overnight.

Another area, still focusing on the guns, Dixon talks about losing

his ―big .50‖ Sharps while crossing the Canadian River and replacing it at

Adobe Walls with the only Sharps he could find, a .44. He also talks about a

―round barreled‖ Sharps and some readers have believed he was talking about two different rifles. I think the round barreled

Sharps is the .44 and that he was talking about the same rifle with different descriptions. A ―round barreled‖ Sharps in those

days was probably a military style with the round barrel and full length forearm because round barreled Sporting Rifles were

very few during the Hartford years.

Please don‘t take my comments as criticism, I‘m only wishing for more precise information, not criticizing. This

book was a true pleasure to read and if you are interested in getting a glimpse of history through the eyes that were there, get

a copy of The Life of Billy Dixon. It is available at ―the bookstore‖ at C. Sharps Arms for $20.00

LYMAN’S LEAD DIPPER By Dakota Dick Savage

The Lyman Lead Dipper is an exceptional, if not essential, tool for the bullet caster. Bottom pour lead

pots work well for small to medium weight bullets, say 350 grains or less, and certainly do increase bullet

production with multi cavity molds, but their bottom spout is too small to timely deliver the required amount of

molten lead needed to cast quality heavy bullets of 400 grains or more. Until someone comes up with an

adjustable, large volume bottom pour spout, the lead dipper is your best option.

Lyman‘s lead dipper offering is threaded on both the left and right side to accommodate both left and

right hand casters and the dipper cavity holds enough lead to cleanly cast up to a 750 grain bullet. Very few

items in this world are one size fits all and the Lyman Lead Dipper is no exception.

As it comes configured, the Lyman Dipper will handle most casting tasks very well, but a simple

modification, can improve the casting of bullets 400 grains and heavier. With a 1/4" bit and drill, open the pour

spout to allow more lead to flow into the mold and provide greater head pressure. You will notice an immediate

improvement in the ability of the dipper to fill out large bullet mold cavities and reward you with clean sharp

edge castings. Another simple trick, that has paid dividends for me, is to clean the dipper thoroughly with a

brass brush after each casting session and spray it with a mold release agent like Frankford Arsenal Mold

Release http://www.midwayusa.com/product/763758/frankford-arsenal-drop-out-bullet-mold-release-agent-

and-lube-6-oz-aerosol . This keeps slag from adhering to both the inside and outside of the dipper and hence

reduces the chance for its introduction into the casted bullet.

Lyman‘s Lead Dipper is available from almost any supplier of handloading gear. If you want to contact

LYMAN’S Flash Hole Uniformer By Dakota Dick Savage

You can spend a fair amount of time getting everything just right when loading a BPCR cartridge, but

still, every once in a while, you get one of those pesky flyers downrange. You were careful to get the case

trimmed to the right length, powder charge the same, separated bullets by weight and put the same neck tension

on each seated bullet. But still you get a pesky flyer.

It is possible one of your

cases has a slightly obstructed or

misshaped flash-hole termination

inside the case. Today‘s brass case

manufacturer‘s have some pretty nice

automated equipment and accurate

processes that turn out some very

nice casings, but occasionally I do find a case with a less than uniform flash-hole.

So what‘s the big deal? Remember grabbing the water hose as a kid and in an effort to gain more range

to soak your sibling or best friend, when they came running around the corner of the house, you put your thumb

over the end of the hose? Moving your thumb around the end of the house changed both how and the direction

the water sprayed. Same applies to the ignition flash when the primer fires. If the flash-hole termination inside

your case is not uniform, it changes the nature (shape, direction, intensity) of the ignition flash. Changing the

ignition source changes how the powder burns and the end result can be that flyer downrange.

Using the Uniformer is pretty straight forward. Loosen the set screw on the cone shaped collar that

slides up and down the Uniformer shaft. Insert the cutter end into the mouth of the case so that the cutter pilot

fits in the flash hole. Slide the collar down to fit in the mouth of the case and center the Uniformer shaft. Apply

a light downward pressure on the handle and turn it to the right. You are only looking to uniform the flash-hole

termination and clear any obstructions so a light touch will do the job. Once you have this first cut completed,

lock the collar in place with the set screw and complete the rest of your cases. There you have it; all your cases

have a uniform flash-hole termination.

The Lyman Flash Hole Uniformer is a handy tool for a BPCR reloader who is looking to start the

reloading process with a uniform case that will deliver consistent performance.

Like their Lead Dipper, Lyman‘s Flash Hole Uniformer is available from almost any supplier of

handloading gear. Again, you can contact Lyman directly by writing to; Lyman Products Corporation, 475

Smith Street, Middletown, Connecticut 06457. You can also visit their website at www.Lymanproducts.com.

Big Medicine for Big Shaggy

By Dakota Dick Savage

A South Dakota rancher once told me that cows that graze in north central Nebraska put on a pound for

every chomp they take of the sweet grass that grows in the Nebraska sand hills. I can‘t say one way or the other

about cows, but the area surely does grow some mighty fine buffalo.

It is the 8th

of October 2012 and I am sitting atop of one of those sweet grass covered sand hills watching

a heard of about 120 big shaggies graze across the flats about 140 yards away. The wind is putting a real bite

into the frigid fall morning air, blowing just hard enough to sting the exposed skin on my noise and cheeks. Not

quite cold enough to freeze the windblown tears in my eyes….but dang near close to it.

This is not my first buffalo hunt rodeo but somewhere around my fifth and it was my second with Rick

Hamilton of Sandhills Outfitters in Stuart, Nebraska. A half mile stalk in a face quartering wind using the

sandhill‘s gullies and depressions put us on top this sand hill above the main heard. Keeping an eye on the lead

cow and heard bull ―Brutis‖ who, according to Rick, has been more frequently demonstrating his bad attitude,

we slowly belly crawl about 20 yards down the face of the sand hill trying, I guess, to look like part of the

blowing grass and brush. We finally take a stand about 110 yards from the west end of the herd. Then we wait.

That frigid wind was not too bad as long as we were moving but sitting and waiting for a young bull to

step out and away from the herd, so a pass through shot would have little chance of hitting a second buffalo,

gives the persistent wind a chance to needle its way through my three layers of clothing.

I am here to fill the freezer with our established annual quota of buffalo meat and correct an obvious

oversight in my early Sharps rifle acquisitions. Earlier that year a quick review of my gun corral pointed out

my .50-90 and .45-110s had cast long shadows that almost obscured my .45-70s and completely darkened the

corner of my gun safe where a .50-70 should reside. I explained to my lovely bride that I could correct this

egregious oversight by matching requirement (meat) with ―desirement‖ (another Sharps) and order a ‗74 .50-70

for this coming years buffalo hunt. Yep, I got ―The Look‖ but my acute powers of observation honed by 40

years of marital bliss caught the slightest movement at the corner of her mouth that quickly turned to a knowing

smile. Before she could change her mind I was on the phone with John Schoffstall of C Sharps Arms in Big

Timber, Montana placing a deposit for my .50-70 order.

Looking at the .50-70

Government compared to the long

legged .45-110 at over 4 inches in

overall length when loaded with a

paper patch bullet or the massive

girth of the Big Fifty .50-90 one

may not immediately come to the

conclusion that the .50-70 would

make much of a Buffalo cartridge.

Originally designed and chambered

in 1866 for the Springfield Model

1866 Trapdoor Rifle the .50-70

case stands a stubby 1 ¾ inches tall

and when the 70gr black powder

charge was topped with an original

450gr bullet, the overall cartridge

length still only managed 2 ¼

inches. A reduced loading of 45

grains of black powder and a 430

grain bullet was produced for use

in the much lighter converted Sharps Dick loads his .50-70 with 540 grain bullets for longer range.

carbines carried by the Union Calvary during the opening of the West.

While the Sharps .45-110 and Big Fifty .50-90 reigned as the desired buffalo hunting round, they did not

make their appearance until the height of buffalo hunting therefore .50-70 had to account for its share of

buffalo meat and hides in the hands of early buffalo hunters.

When John told me he would get right on my order, he meant it literally and I was pleasantly surprised

to be holding my ten and a half pound, 28 inch barreled 1874

Sharps in my hands just six short weeks after I placed the

order. I wasted little time mounting an RHO era correct 6x

scope and getting right to load development.

I opted for a 26 twist rate rather than the traditional

mid 30s rate twist in hopes I could use the little .50-70 for

some long range steel gong shoots as well as hunting. The

faster twist quickly showed its preference for a longer,

heavier bullet and after working with several bullet weights

starting at 480 grains, the Sharps really cozied up to a .499‖

patched diameter (.494-inch bare), 540 grain, 1.150 inch

paper patch bullet from an Accurate mold. Pushed with 76

grains of KIK 2F the Sharps consistently turned in 1.5 inch

groups at 150 yards off the bench and 2.5 inch groups from

sitting position off crossed shooting sticks. Eight shots with the 540 gr. Bullet at 150 yds.

Over the next 4 months I completed 8 separate practice sessions in various wind and light conditions at

ranges between 100 to 200 yards. Shooting from sitting position off shooting cross sticks and using a range

finder to call the distance, 5 shot groupings stayed under 5 inches.

Several cows, heifers and a

group of three young bulls finally

grazed away from the herd and after

about 20 minutes one of the young bulls

walked away from the group of three.

Rick put the rangefinder on him and

called it at 124yds…Ready, ready…No,

wait! Rick wanted to video the shot and

by the time he got into position the

young bull had turned away giving us a

wonderful view of his buffalo butt.

The cold, biting wind picked up

as the young bull finally ambled around

broadside and Rick gave me the thumbs

up that he was videoing. BOOM

.…SMACK! The hit was solid and I

saw the puff of dust raise off the hide

from the bullets impact just behind the

joint of the front leg. The young bull

spun around and trotted in a half circle

to the west and away from the herd.

Buffalo are a not a flight animal and the

report of the .50-70 shot received almost

no reaction from the rest of the herd.

Instead of hightailing it, almost

immediately, several cows and a 3yr old

bull turned their attention to the young

bull. They surrounded him making any

follow-up shot impossible and as he

staggered and stumbled they supported him with their bodies to keep him on his feet.

Dick’s bull is already down just beyond the “buffalo wallow,” being butted “back to life” by the bull on the right.

While the herd was focused on the fate of the young bull, Rick and I made our way back over the top of

the sand hill and using the draw behind it, moved west to get a closer view of the young bull and better position

for a follow-up shot if it was needed. We eased up over a small rise, close to where we estimated the young

bull would be, and found ourselves less than 40yds from the young bull and his following group. These brutes

of the prairie are tough and carry a huge volume of blood so it can take awhile even for a heart shot bull to go

down for the count. It had been over 5 minutes since my shot and just as Rick telling me to positioning myself

for another shot when the young bull was clear of the other buffalo, the young bull collapsed.

The half dozen cows that surround him continued to hover around the young bull for another minute but

then moved off about 10 yards. The 3yr old bull however refused to give up and kept head butting the young

bull, hooking his hindquarters with his horns and lifting the young bulls hindquarters clean off the ground in an

effort to get him back on his feet. Rick was concerned the 3yr old would damage carcass and decided, with

guns up and ready, we should slowly stand up and show ourselves. The 3yr old did stop his head butting

however neither he nor the half-dozen cows showed any signs of backing down and moving off… Did I

mention that the nearest climbable tree was well over 2 miles away?

It only took us a couple of seconds to realize we were going to be the losers in this stare down contest so

we slowly backed down the rise and when out of sight of the buffalo we hoofed it back the ½ mile to the

Suburban. As Rick drove the Suburban up to the downed bull the 3yr old bull and half dozen cows slowly

moved off. We parked the Suburban between us and the herd and kept one eye on them as we snapped a couple

of pictures and winched my young bull onto the flatbed trailer to haul in for processing.

My next few hours were filled with moments of review, re-living that single shot either from my own

view or from the pictures and the video that Rick had taken of the hunt. There is nothing that I can think of

where or how the .50-70 could have fallen short at all and a more powerful or higher velocity rifle wouldn‘t

have contributed anything to that shot or to the hunt. As a buffalo rifle, this .50-70 seemed to be right at home.

Rick did a

great job of catching

all the action on

video and reviewing

it on that computer

later that afternoon

we could clearly hear

the .50-70 report and

the bullet smack the

hide. Additionally,

Rick was in just the

right position to catch

the explosion of dirt

about 30 yards

behind the buffalo

where the bullet

tossed up a geyser of

sand and dust as it hit

the ground after

passing clean

through. It was a

clean shot through and through that put a hole right through the heart.

Any question of the stubby little .50-70 cartridge being enough medicine to take down a Big Shaggy has

been fully answered to my satisfaction and now that rifle casts its own tall shadow in the gun case alongside the

.50-90, .45-110 and .45-70 that have filled previous years‘ buffalo meat quota. And it is highly likely that my

.50-70 will get that good assignment again.
