Wisconsin Rapids mid-range match with my .44-77.

Jim.

I never shot a long range match with the Farmer or the 19 twist Hartford. The 19 twist shot well at the Q just burning powder.
I have shot the .44-90 bn with the 19 twist at Lodi one year using the 1.453" long at 507 gr at the 2011 Lodi and came in 3rd with a 234/4 2 X on the 1000 2X on the 900 1 on the 800. I don't understand why I shoot the 900 and the 1000 better than the 800 but usually the 800 is my looser.
If I remember right you were 1st at the end of the first day Robert Waline 2nd. but the bottom fell out the second day for me that put me in 4th with a 457/5. Mike Teisen moved me down to 4th. This was the year Arnie shot the 99/3 at 800 with his .40

I used a parchment paper wad over the powder, 1/8" lube wad and a 1/16 cork under the bullet. That is what my notes say I used at Lodi that year. The parchment paper I loaded so I get maximum heat on the lube wad to make it break down faster so most stays in the home and not on the ground looking unused except for the land cuts on it's side

I really don't know why I don't shoot that 19 twist Shiloh Roughrider more but it sure eats the powder.
