Here you go Sam.

Kurt, it almost sounds like you are as anxious to try these bullets as I am to see how well they do. I am hoping that they do very well or at a minimum they perform acceptably.
Looking forward to your report.
Sam

That is a nice looking bullet but I think it would be better without the wash board ripples on the shank The bullet is too large in diameter for the .44-100 st so I swaged it down to .443" and it will just fit the chamber loaded in the case. I have three cases loaded for breach seating that bullet fully into the throat. Cases are not in the photo.

I got six loaded in the .44-77, .44-90bn and the .44-100 rem.
All are loaded with 3F OE because I'm starting to work with this powder because it showed some good results with the loads I worked up last fall using the 3F. I will see how it works in the .44's.
The .44-77 has 72 gr. The .44-2-5/8 BN has 100 gr and the .44-100 Rem st has 90 gr I will see how it works with your 485 gr bullets.
The 77 and 2-5/8 has a 1/19 rot and the .44 rem has a 1/17 rot.
the .44-100 breach seated cases have 100 ge in them.
If the thunder storms are over in the morning I will shoot them before it gets to hot.
Kurt
