44-77 Sharps paper patched load

[Eric Johanen]

    I had a chance to get to the range today and posted targets at 50 and 100 yards (25 yard timed and rapid fire). Fire formed some cases. After some windage adjustments on the front and rear sights at 50 I moved to 100 and shot these. Shot the ones on the left and tapped the front and rear to center up and shot the right side. A bit more adjustment and shot the 10 the 8's and 6 O'clock. I will need to open the rear V a bit and when I have "the load", lower the front to print just above the front sight at 100. Now I have some cases to work with. Have not decided if I want to use the semi-buckhorn or switch to the Lawrence. 74.0 grains of OE and the 438 grain bullets are real pussy cat loads in this rifle. I am going to load a target round next time. Case full of powder and a wad with the bullet seated only .150 in the case and see how they fly. I do think this rifle will be "the Boss"!
