RE: Development of PP loads for the .44-77.
I will bring both to Rapids and most likely use the .44-77. I don't think there is time to shoot both. I had the bull barrel build for the long range paper matches but I pretty much quit Lodi.
I have the scope mounted now on both rifles so I will start using the scope, forced to using one now if I want to keep shooting the matches.

I will dig through my .44 dies I made when I still had the lathe. I made some sizing dies I can hone out using the Milland republish them to get a proper diameter using the .0018 paper. I don't like the 55Y it's just to thin for a .004" groove. When you shoot 50-60 rounds and bore scope the barrel I see the inside of the lands getting build up with lead smears.

Smile the new mould has been a fun ride so far. Maybe I should get one for the rest of my calibers LOL.
