The Confederacy produced various patterns of Sharps ammunition to feed both captured and domestically made rifles and carbines during the American Civil War. This bullet is the culmination of their development efforts, produced from roughly mid-war at the Richmond Arsenal, and is an approximate copy of the British-made Eley Sharps bullet. It has a long flat heel designed to be loaded with a paper combustible cartridge, and measures .545 at the belt. It weighs a hefty .510gr, and is cast on an Eras Gone Bullet Mold.

THIS BULLET WILL BE TOO LARGE FOR MOST ORIGINAL SHARPS RIFLES AND CARBINES! Typically the originals are in nominally .52cal, this bullet is designed for reproduction Sharps in .54cal.
