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

[Distant Thunder]

I made the decision before leaving for Lodi that I was going to shoot my .44-77 even though I probably would have had a better chance to win the match with my Hepburn. I'm not going to get where I want to be with this rifle/cartridge if it sits in the safe.

So the rest of the this year I will shoot this .44 in every match I go to. And in between matches I will analyze the heck out of the results and what should be my next step. The Lodi results are very encouraging and I believe I learned what my next step should be. This new mold is part of that next step.
