44-77 continuing development

[Distant Thunder]

Don,

I enjoy shooting this rifle/cartridge a bunch and it has been very easy to work with and get good accuracy with. I use a bit heavier papaer than you do so a .432 to .433 bullet fit my rifle very well.

I still haven't tested other powder charges, I just keep loading the 86 grains that has work well from the start with this "Metford" style bullet.

I'm at a loss as to why the EPP won't shoot with this lot of Swiss. It did really well with a newer lot I had but I only had 3 pounds of that and it gone now.

I need to get some OE for this cartridge but the money keeps going else where and it's still on the list. At least I have one bullet that shoots well with this 2013 lot of Swiss. I've got a bunch of that powder still.
