RE: .44s - Iron Coyote - 08-30-2015
The RCBS 44-370 that I have is to fat to fit the Green Mountain barrels I have.It will go into a Badger,but is very tight.
Have not used the Accurate 44-450,but the 44-455B does real well out of a Badger barrelled Hepburn 44-77.
Under 3 1/2" @ 300M with scope & me

Bob, I just looked at the Accurate web site again and you must mean 44-445B. That's a good looking bullet too. I'll probably go for 44-450B because I've had such good luck with 44-400B. And your shooting with your .44/77 Hepburn simply makes me want to try harder! Good shooting. Shoot sharp, Mike

Sorry about the typo. It is in fact the 44-445B. It drops @ 456gr. with my alloy.
The mould came with the rifle,so that where I started.
Good Luck with your project.
Thnx Lots

Bob, I've hit more typos than you, I'm sure. And I've been using 44-400B for a couple of years but wanted a different bullet to use in the rolling block. Why? I'm not sure. Just to have something different, I guess. Now it looks like 44-400B gets the job for both my Sharps and the roller. We'll just see how things go. Shoot sharp, Mike
RE: .44s - Don McDowell - 08-30-2015
Bob what alloy are you using? That weight comes out spot on what I've found to be working the best in the 44-77 when trying to make it reach 1000 yds.

It was mixed at 25/1 lead/tin.
I got into a hell of a train wreck with this batch of crap.
The stuff that was supposed to be tin isn't. I don't know what it is,but it ain't tin.
But that story will have wait for another day.
Thnx Lots

Thanks Bob, I bought a pig of what was supposed to be foundry poured 20-1, filthiest junk I ever got ahold of, don't know what was in it, but it kept coming out looking like shreds of the Napa rubber cork material.. Try and cast a good bullet with that stuff in there..
