Interesting box found in South Africa, not mine but from a local collector. – Kynoch loading for the 45-80-480 Sharps. Hoyem 4:28 lists the Sharps 2.4″ case as a 90 and 100gr. loading with 550gr. bullet. In the book about the Birmingham Cartridge Manufacturers by CW Harding, it lists the 45-82 WCF as being made by Kynoch for the US market from 1897 to 1902, but no loading for the Sharps rifle.
