Time to continue load development with my .44-77.

[Distant Thunder]

I know that Sage bullet is a good bullet but being it's a .44-77 I'm partial to the original Sharps profile and will work with it as long as there is hope for it to shoot well.

I'll bring the .44-77 to Lodi at the end of April as a backup to my .45-70. If the Hepburn goes down or all hope is lost, I will break out the .44-77 and have some fun.

There is still something about shooting long range will a scope that I haven't figured out yet, but my eyes aren't going to allow me to shoot the shorter barrel with irons. Last year I felt I was still seeing pretty well with iron on the 34" Hepburn, but on the 30" .44 not so much. I couldn't be sure I was a target, any target much less on my own. With the scope I can see very well of course, I just seem to be having trouble aiming the darn thing. I'm just too used to irons I guess.
