Yessir once that 44 bug bites, there's no know cure...

For some crazy reason Don I get the feeling you like 44's lol. I had looked at the 44-90 I have enjoyed reading your posts about it.

The reason I asked about the 40 is I saw them listed on C Sharps' sight and didn't know what the 2 1/4 case was.

Now you have me looking at a 44-77 Shilo Sporter #1 lol.

Thanks for all the great info Gents you all are a wealth of knowledge

Jeramy, I do like the 44's.
If you're ordering that Shiloh be sure and request the 7 degree leed.

Mike why not the .44-75 Ballard before the little .44-70? Tongue Big Grin

Kurt, I give up. Why not? Either one will take some time, giving me time to think about it. Shoot sharp, Mike
