Good news - Don McDowell - 08-27-2013
My #3 is fitted with it's new barrel,
just waiting for the reamer to get in. Kirk said he ordered those reamers in June, thinks maybe he'll have it in the next week. If that proves out, then I should have that rifle in time to take to Raton for the position midrange matches.
Jamison is running some of the good brass now, so we should be seeing 44-77 available again in a month or two.

Don are you getting a tight chamber this time or what mods to it are being done? bobw

Changed from a 45-70 to a 44-77. Kirk redesigned his 44-77 reamer to use a 7* lead instead of the 45*.He's still waiting for the reamers to be delivered. Thinks they'll be in in a week or so. Rifle should shoot either greasers or patched very well.
