I believe that there was a .38 Sharps percussion sporting rifle. Could the bullet for a .38 breechloader be in the .41 range?
Just a thought.

Tom, you are correct.  The diameter of bullets for the 90-bore (nominally .38 cal.) sports rifle would be as much as .435 or so to operate in the breechloading system.

For the slanting breech Sharps.
 Dug 15-20 in Missouri ... willing to trade one or two.
