RE: 44-77 44-90?
Well keep in mind that the 40's from back in the day ran an 18 or 20 twist and the heaviest bullet's used at that time were 330 gr in the 40-90 bn, and it had a great reputation on the high plains.
Don't sell that 1.1 inch bullet in the 44's short, it'll shoot fine to 600+, and they haven't built anything of flesh and blood that can contain one on a broadside hit.
In one of the old Sharps catalogs there's a letter from one of the hide men and he tells of using his 44 to shoot thru and kill 2 buffalo bulls at one time at 500 yards.
A wise man can always be found alone. A weak man can always be found in a crowd.
