RE: .44-77 PP bullets.
I usually only size about .001" after patching and that is done with a reloading press mounted push thru die that has been tapered and well polished and while using 9# paper, that works.
I wrapped some of my .50-70 bullets with 9# paper, that bullet was made for 55Y, and they sized just fine. That 55Y is as thin a paper as I'd care to work with but it did shoot well. Because I was having trouble with the leading edge of the 55Y folding back when chambering I thought I'd try some 9# paper instead. It works just fine but I have to size the patched bullet to fit the rifle, with 9# they are .002-.003 too big. They sized just fine.
