I give up!!

[Kurt]

Kurt now I'm wondering about the viability of the Brooks postell in a 500 gr slick at .434 for use in the 44 2.4 when they get done?

I would think that it should shoot pretty good. It would take maybe a 1/2 turn more on the elevation idiot knob. I dont have a slick with that nose profile for the .44.
I wouldn't worry too much about the weight. It's the length that has to be watched. The elliptical and the postell slick can be both the same length and diameter but the postell will weigh a lot more.

Just out of curiosity I will load some of those greaser .44 MB in the .44-100 by running them through the sizing die a little till they chamber and shoot them through the 1/17 ROT.
Sure hate to think about leading that bore up in that rifle.
