RE: .44-77 PP bullets.
Jim,
That bullet is swaged using the RCE swage tools. There are some in the bunch I sent you. That bullet is a very close copy to the Gibbs. I have a KAL adjustable mould I got here from Don that is a tapered Gibbs that is very close to the swaged but it's tapered and it does not drop a good bullet with a lot of base flashing and vent hairs so I use it for a core mould for the swage die.
Bullet #2 is also very good and the mould came from Harlan Sage mould, so I don't think it's available anymore.
That 5 shot group was shot using the 10X MVA scope and shot of the bench and it was sandbagged. if that outlander would have stayed in the group that might have made .511". I wonder just how much it would have opened in another 70 yards but that is the best looking group I have ever shot. Heck even my 700 Rem .308 would get nervous.
