.44-77 and paper patch?

[Distant Thunder]

Sam,

Thank you for the info on your cases and the drawing.

The one case I have is just as it came from BACO, NOT fireformed. It is said to be made for Shiloh chambers, but is probably sized small just to insure it fits for fireforming to each individual chamber. There is also the fact that this newer lot of Swiss 1 1/2 I have is lighter than my old lot. That probably accounts for the roughly 10 grains less in my case compared to yours.

I'm still trying to find out what I can get done as far as getting this rebarrel job done and by whom. The conversation is agonizingly slow! It takes days to get an answer to a simple question which only leads to another question and the resulting days waiting for an answer to that question and on and on...….., for about two weeks now. I'm not really in a hurry but I'd like things to move along! Right now I would be happy just knowing what I'm going to have at the end of this project. I know the work will take time, as it should, that I can live with.
