I’ll loan you my avatar!!They do. I've owned several Sharps rifles in the past and loaded my own BP ctgs. with paper patched bullets. It's a lot of work and takes unbelievable dedication. I sold mine however and am dealing with a partially detached retina as is. I also have a "tennis" elbow that flares up after even a cylinder of magnums and once incapacitated me for a year. I'm beat up.
