Development of PP loads for the .44-77.

[Distant Thunder]

Kurt,

I have some orphaned powders, a half a pound of this and that that will never be used for anything else and some of my fireforming will have to be done with that stuff. I was just hoping I could find some that would be good enough to do some actual shooting with rather than just blasting it off. I play around the rest of today and if nothing looks good I'll just blow smoke and get these cases all fireformed then go back and start again with fireformed cases.

This bottleneck thing is a bit different than most anything else I've worked with. The case start out so undersize they don't look at all the same once they are fired! A new .45-70 case goes in the chamber a .45-70 then you fire it and it comes out a .45-70! These go in like a .22 Hornet and come out like a .22 K-Hornet! Quite a difference.
