.44-77 PP bullets.

[Distant Thunder]

Don,

I do have some felt wads around here that I use in my C&B revolver. I remember many, many years ago my first Sharps was a .40-90 BN and I tried some felt wads in it, the result was the first three cases had the necks pulled off! I broke down the rest of the loads and never put felt wads in a case again. Now admittedly I knew not thing one about loading black powder ammo at that time and I do not know that the felt wads were to blame but I have avoided them ever since. I know a little bit more these days.

I am bored often with our "safer at home" policy in effect. I do stop by my shop about once a week just because I'm driving by on my way to get groceries, which is still legal in most states. While I'm there I do work on a few things just to keep the dust from settling in one spot. I do not know that it is illegal for me to do so because I am no long a business really and I haven't asked anyone about it. If I was in Michigan I'm pretty sure it would be illegal for me to do that.

When I made that round nose bullet mold I saw it more as a hunting bullet than a target bullet so the flat doesn't really bother me and probably makes a better hunting bullet.

While we are just talking here, is you .44-77 also a 17-twist? If so you would want the bullet at 1.400" long but in a base pour mold? And the same diameters as that 2-D bullets you gave me? No harm in thinking things thru!
