Continuing development with the .44-77.

[Don McDowell]

I was going to do something similar for the Dean match in Alliance. I am taking my Shiloh 77 with known loads, and with loads that I think may be just as good. Plus I was going to take my 44-77 and get some practice in today, and make the decision which rifle to shoot. I also thought about taking my 44-90 st that I got first place with last year.... But then I got to thinking, that might be to much confusion on my part, so the 77 with it's proven load, and enough of the maybe proven load got the final call. Will be heading out in a short bit and will know how the story goes by Sunday.
I think sometimes the urge to do well over powers the need to wring a rifle and load out, and the little birds in the back of your mind may keep you from shooting an unknown rifle as well as you might, when it knows something proven is sitting in the pickup.
It's just a shooting match, they won't drag you out in the street and shoot you dead if you don't win, but they will stand in the back and growl if you do win..
This is supposed to be fun.
