Sounds interesting Zack.
Yeh, the .44-100, .44-90, .44-75's are boring

maybe it's the butt ugly naked DT designed bullet that plowed the dirt up

You will get it worked out. Sounds like you got a good start.
I just got a new reamer made this summer in a .45 caliber believe it or not

and I been looking for a barrel maker that will make my super highly classified barrel combination I want, but having a hard time finding one that will tool up for this job.
After Christmas I will load the gypsy wagon and head down to Cactus land for a while as long as this weather holds. I don't like driving on black ice anymore pulling something.
Don't know yet where I will drive stakes in the ground to keep the wind from blowing me over when I get down there.
