44-77 Sharps paper patched load

[Eric Johanen]

Thank's for the offer Kurt! I'll do just that. This rifle is a barrel iron sight, one load, hunting and occasional steel banger. I went with this Brook's bullet based on correspondence with Stephen and Orville and it is about exactly like the one they use except for a slightly larger meplat. Want it to hit deer and elk hard! Things tightened up a bunch with the switch to 2 fg OE. Noticed that when I bring up a wee bit to much front blade it does show up on the target! I'll keep working with those sights. On steel I'm going to concentrate on the largest target at distance and just get a good zero for each range and see if I can hit with it to 5 or 600 yards. If I find the load, with my eye's, 200 yard boiler room deer and elk will be just fine. Plinking steel we will run it as far out as possible. "Lucrezia", my 50-90 is getting a bit peeved and I'll have to take her out next range day!
