.44-77 PP bullets.

[Distant Thunder]

Now, Arnie, you go and make it even more difficult to not get carried away with buying .44 caliber molds! I don't even have a .44 caliber rifle and I've already got at least four .44 caliber molds!

I really like the ogive length you are putting on these bullets. As I said before, shortening the nose and lengthening the shank will improve some of the problems I had with the prolate design as Brent first designed it. Those early prolate that he and I worked with where the nose was 50% of the OAL were very light and may have had some issues caused by the long nose in the transonic zone.

I will ultimately have at least two 2-D PPB for my .44-77, one of your design and one other of a design to be determined.

One of the unique things about the .44-77 is that some of the brass I have "come up with" is heavy enough in the necks that when combined with Shiloh's excellent tight standard GG chamber accepts a straight sided bore diameter PPB just about perfectly with no neck sizing. In part because it is formed from longer brass which causes the necks to heavier. I have no idea how everything will play out but it's going to be interesting for sure.
