Powder for 44-77

RE: Powder for 44-77
Thanks, it will be a Pacific Tool and Gage reamer from Reamer Rentals. It doesn't have the 7deg lead but for now I feel I can live without that. If at some point I want the throat changed I will make the effort to get a reamer or have one made. After studying the chamber reamer print it should do everything I need for the time being.
First step, get my cases fire formed and make sure what I have to load with will work. If not then its time to raid the piggy bank and spring for a set of CH dies and do things right.
Next will be to consider playing around with PP bullets. But that will not be until sometime next year or so.
You said to use powder you don't like, well I forgot I have a few cans of Elephant I guess that junk would work for fire forming cases.
Since my smith is heading out west on a hunting trip in the early part of October, he feels he will have my barrel finished but not blued before he goes. It might make an interesting contrast a nice bright white barrel on a CCH action. And if it should happen to develop a little brown on the outside, a little sand paper will make it disapear and not hurt the finish, and others may just think its a SS barrel.
OHHH so many projects and plans and so little money to play with.
Ain't life grand.
