Just another mould..or two.

[Kurt]

The last may shoot at Lodi I used my early 17 twist Wolf Shiloh Farmer .44-77. I shot it instead my .45-90 CPA that shoots so well. I used the .44-77 because just for the heck of it because Jim was going to shoot his new .44-77. I shot my lowest score I ever shot at Lodi a 366/2. It was just me not getting my act together and my shooting abilities are going down hill using a scoped rifle but regardless I used a load I had in the closet that I did not shoot at the previous Quigley and I didn't load new for this match so I used it.
It was loaded with a bullet cast with the Sage mould and it's 1.457" long weighing in at 511 grains with my 17# lead and one roll of no lead solder 95/5 (95% tin 5% antimony) This bullet shot better at 1000 yards than it did at 800 and 900.
Length yes makes a difference but also is the profile of the projectiles ogive tin relation to the shank.
