44-77 Sharps paper patched load

[Eric Johanen]

Next time out, the plan is to lower the front sight a bit and see how close I can get to the hold point I want. If I can't get there without too much stock removal I'll use a shim between the sight base of the Lawrence sight Kurt. I'll give the 2 fg OE a try. The 1/8 inch of DGL left a grease ring at the muzzle and examined cards showed no lube left on the cards. Just a bit sticky on the surface that contacted the grease wad. Covering the bull is not the best way to start but these were the first loads put up in fire formed brass and I wanted to see just where it shot before I started working on the sights. I think it will come along nicely. With this rifle it's a one bullet/one load plan for everything. Now I need to patch up more bullets!
