RE: .44-77 PP bullets.
Sam,
I tried to reply to your post at lunch time but this stupid computer eat my post just as I finished it! I have no idea where those things go when they vanish like that!
I forgot to list the taper crimp die I made for the .44-77. I also had made up a die body to hold sizing bushings, but I have not made any bushings yet because I'm not sure what size I will need. Remember, this is all for a rifle I don't have yet!
The last time I talked to Kirk he wanted to know what rim thickness I would be using because they were chambering my barrel that morning. That was in early March. Three weeks later they were shut down by the governor because of the Whu-WHO-Flu! So the barrel was fitted to my action and the chamber was cut, that much for sure. Next would be cutting the octagon, cut to length and cut the dovetails. Then just bead blasting and bluing. So if they can reopen after the 24th of April I'm hoping to have my rifle back by sometime in early June, which would be just in time for my birthday! That would be 10 months since I sent my rifle to them.
