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

[Distant Thunder]

I had time today to cast 55 more bullets from my new Brooks PP mold. I weighed them and the first one was 489.4 grains, the other 54 were between 490.4 and 491.4 so it continues to cast pretty consistent bullets. I had less trouble this time than the first time because I knew to run things on the hot side and that helped.

The one problem I had was once the mold gets hot enough to cast good bullets it starts to flash around the base. I eventually got that to stop by just dropping the pot temperature a little. Then it really started to cast very good looking bullets and the weight within .6 grains total for the rest of the session.

I'll load 10 each of the two best loads so far and see how they shoot. That won't be anytime soon because I have some family doings this coming week and some other things to finish before I get back to shooting. After July 1st I should be able to get my shooting back on track.
