.44-77 and paper patch?

[J.B.]

Looking good Jim. I had Steve Brooks cut me a two diameter bullet...that has an ogive & meplat somewhere between the two designs youve done. Mine is a little on the long side for 1/19" I have here ..although I shortened it as much as I could. I actually wanted to use it in my 1/17" rifle in the States but thats proving to be a little too idealistic. I ran .433 on the forward section and .443 at its base and it seats well in unsized fired cases.. depending on paper thickness. More range time is needed though. To date...my better results , gg or pp, have all been with a nose closer to the original Sharps design. I'm keeping a close eye on your workings though
