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

[J.B.]

'Consistentinconsistency' ... Is that a word or a way of life ? Of the cases I have waiting... 200 have been used in my rifle, 100 JBA cases apparently once fired in another Shiloh...and 50 BACo cases. This along with the 100 patched bullets I'm bringing and 400 gg bullets waiting for me. I'll likely run the 'once fired' and BACo brass during 'Q' practice to bring the cases up to spec so its a 'more even' ( note I didnt say 'even') playing field. Given the weight restrictions we cant bring more than a 100 loaded rounds and with the 44/77 or a 45/90 thats more like 90 rounds. No complaints...as its the way its been since our first trip. At least we can travel...and we are allowed to compete. Would be fun to shoot a 'paper' match alongside some of you guys who know what you're doing...because in truth most of us here are still in our 'BPTR' infancy. With the 'Q' and Big Hill being sentimental favourites... I may just have to factor two trips into one year but then picking up the rifle and loading gear in MT becomes an issue. I'm working on it though. .. Who knows...may even have another mould or two made by then !
