Looks like 1,000 yards from the picture.
Impressive with a muzzle loader.
The Sharps 45/90 isn't a muzzle loader, it's a Cartridge rifle that uses Black Powder & a 500Gr + lead bullet!
I have a 45/70 Remington rolling block reproduction that use a BP cartridge. So I do know a little about long range shooting with BP cartridge.
That's a respectable distance for anything though.

Exactly who in the holy eff is (insert favorite politician here) to ban anything?
As others have rightly pointed out, there is nothing magical about an AR-15; same basic rifle as an old wood-stock semi-automatic hunting rifle. It just looks scary to people that frighten easily....
Edit: remove any reference to specific politician...check
I'm not trying to spark an argument just spreading information.
They're just numbers, and 500 is as long as I've been.
One day, while the boys were going downrange, I whipped out my 742 in 30.06 sighted at zero at 180 yards (Distance to the feeder from my stand), and after I found the 4'X8' plywood target, managed 3 in a 4.5" group.
I was aiming at tops of weeds way beyond the target. Hahahahaha. Bullet drop was about 27".
Dirtbikes create alot of carnage too both in terms of deaths and paralyzed victims that require expensive long term care. At some point the bean counters may push to put all of us motorcyclists in the crosshairs for limitations. Hopefully our love of all freedoms will keep it from happening.
Banning semi-auto rifles from law abiding citizens is the same as cutting off your own dick because your neighbor has too many kids...
My 2 most recent builds, need glass for the precision (still deciding) and going to upgrade the optic on the pistol.
And everyone in the house is handy with an AR too... Including my daughter.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Interestingly (predictably?) enough those in America who do not care about the right to bear arms...are largely those who just don't like guns, don't use guns, don't understand guns, or are outright afraid of guns (there are exceptions)...and as a result they don't care about the 2nd amendment because it affects a freedom they don't value...But if that freedom can get taken, what freedom is next?
First they came for the guns...and I did not speak out--because I didn't like guns...
Then they came for the high horsepower motorcycles...and I did not speak out--because I don't like motorcycles
Then they came for the sugar...and I did not speak out--because I eat healthy...
Then they came for [whatever freedom you do value]--and there was no freedom left to defend it with.
If the government can take away the 2nd amendment...what freedoms can't they take away?
I think you're correct because what these guns are used for most is the sport of shooting targets. If they were used for killing everybody would be posting photos with lots of dead animals in them.
It's fair to say that there is a "varmint" variety of the Modern Sporting Rifle too. It typically has a bull barrel, just like any hunting style rifle. There is no flash hider or compensator... For someone that doesn't know them, it's just another scary black rifle. But it's far less popular than something like a Ruger 10/22.

Target was about the size of a baseball, I guess.
Had I missed, I could have reloaded in about half a second. And maybe had another shot.
Ahhhhhh fuckit.
I want a Ruger Precision 17HMR really bad...
It's so fun to shoot.
Here's mine, I hate the scope mounts, but don't care anymore.
The dog pic was an accident,
But that's 3 in that can at 100 yards.
If you don't believe that's 3 in the hole at 100 yards, well, then I'm a liar.
Say whatever,
But you don't want me shooting at you.
Oops.
The one on my Model 70 Coyote Light .270 WSM is fluted.
You posted about lapping in your scope, right?
She's a beaut!
I still need to get me a bi-pod for this thing.
Mine likes the 17gr.
nothing beats a good set of shootin irons!
heres a couple of my safe "non assualt" rifles
