RE: .44-77 PP bullets.
A '77 Sharps in .45-90 should be a hell of a long range rifle. If I were to order a '77 it would have all the bells and whistles. I don't usually go for too fancy, but that's just me.
In the back of my mind I've been kicking around the idea of a hunting weight Sharps chambered in .44-77. Something similar to Kurt's .44-77 but not with the crescent buttplate. I shot that rifle last August at Harris, MN and it would definitely make an excellent hunting rifle. In that type of rifle I would consider the 7 degree chamber.
Not saying that it would actually happen, but it would be very nice rifle. I'm thinking 30" standard weight barrel, straight grip, shotgun butt, plain wood and a single trigger. Maybe one notch up on the wood, maybe.
I'm just not sure one .44-77 is enough. Of course it would all depend on the funds becoming available. The good thing would be I would already have brass, dies, molds and all that little stuff that really adds up. The bonus would be that it would be a .44-77 and would exude COOL in abundance!
