some 44-77 questions

Martini , like you the barrel was being swabed between shots but the rifle has a Parts Unknown/Red River 78 style sight on it and it kind of snaps into the vertical position. Since I was watching the shooter I am posative that the site was back in position each shot.
Due to the fact that this was virgin brass being used, it had never been shot before, that may be part of the problem with the vertical. I am thinking that only time will tell.
The guy doing the shooting is used to shooting a 45-70 and he was quite impressed with the 44. Less recoil and it did hit the animals pretty hard.
For the most part, shooting here in the north east of the US is done for the year. Come spring it will come out again and see what happens when its used with fire formed brass. Over the winter I may pick up another GG mold and I am thinking of picking up a slick to try out. I need to get paper first and then pick a mold to match.
The shooting over the weekend did show me that the gun and the caliber will shoot and will slam down those steel critters with authority. In the mean time I have a rifle and a caliber that just looks right, it looks like a rolling block creedmore and is the right caliber. Just hard to beat that cool factor.
