.44-77 and paper patch?

[Gunner500]

Yes, Don about covered it, I will add a 1.285" bullet weighing 475gr shoots really well with 19 twist, the reformed 50-110 Starline brass from BACO is good stuff too, it should last a good long while.

It was hard for me to get my head around a bullet that short, but after talking to RDNCK, and reading what Kurt and Don said here, plus reading what the buffalo and match shooters of the day did with them, I filed it and forgot it, will see how they work on some animals this fall.

Good luck to You getting up and running, it's a wonderfully fun accurate cartridge that burns clean and has next to no recoil.
