The 44-100 caliber

[Kurt]

Zack I like the .44-75 Ballard caliber that is on a 2.5' case as far as a mild recoiling caliber. My .44-100 Rem is a very accurate rifle but the .44-75 I really never really found out what it is capable of doing at long range because it was chambered in a bad barrel and I re chambered it for the .44-90/2-5/8 BN to give the bullet a little more kick to fill the deep grooves the barrel had. I will revisit that caliber if I can find a barrel maker that can bore a .438/.446 gain twist barrel.
My .44-100 Rem St. has a 1/17 ROT and there is nothing in my safe that will out shoot it short of the 700 Rem. I also have one with a 1/16 ROT that does not do as well as the 1/17 for some reason using the same bullets.
