Bore wipers

To be quite honest, I was surprised at how easy and how well the 44-77 shot. A friend wanted to try it so I just put powder in the case till it was up just into the neck a bit, a .03 ldpe wad, paper patched bullet. Also loaded up some 480 gr gg bullets. My friend had no problems hitting all the animals all the way out to the rams. Just seems to me that those BN cases just don't shoot worth a hoot, they shoot like a house afire.
Some day if all goes well I will add 2 more BN rounds to the stable. I would like to have a 44-60 just for a bit less recoil and I just picked up a set of dies for a 40-50 sbn. Cute little critter to say the least. The dies are Reading and to be honest I don't know if they were ever used as none of the lock rings were tightened down. Down side, thats a very long way to trim a case with a Forster case trimmer. The lathe is set up for a job otherwise that would shorten the cases quickly.
