Rugby and Sharps rifles with the Rigby being muzzle loading. Doesn’t say what cartridge was used with the Sharps rifle.
 
I need a lesson on this. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge came out in 2007. The rifles you have displayed look much older. Do you own one of these beauties?
Those are not my rifles. They are Remington long range Creedmoor rifles. I used to have a mid range Creedmoor but sold it a long time ago.

.50-70 Gov't most likely. New articles from the time mention the rifle brands but not the cartridges used. The NRA annual report from that year lists ".50 caliber cartridges for sale" on the grounds for the event.
