.50 BPCR question
I was in the Billings Cabelas gun library on Monday and they had a Shiloh 1874 Sharps in .50 caliber, but information said .50. 2-1/8".
Haven't been able to make this length work for any of the cartridges (50/70, 50/90, 50/100, or the Big Boy 50/110)
Any ideas before I fire off a note to Mike Venturino posing this question, maybe it is mismarked?

On line listing states 2 1/2,, 0 -
Yep, but they got it tagged as 2-1/8", so guess it was a typo.

So,did ya go back and get it ??? 0 -
Nope, when I get my Shiloh 1874 it will be in 45/70 Govt, so I can shoot same rounds in it as my Marlin 1895 Guide Gun.
But, I would love to have a 50/110 just because.

.50x2.5" is the Sharps cartridge variously known as the .50-90, .50-100, or .50-110 depending on the load; the Big Fifty. Not the same as .50-110 Winchester.
Who knows what a clerk might put on a www ad or hang tag. I never heard of a .50x 2 1/8".0
