44-77 Sharps paper patched load

[J.B.]

The first fired case you eject from that chamber you'll be thinking someone Ackley Improved that chamber. LOL , from then on you'll likely find the sweet spot around 77-78 gr.

..Never a more true statement Don... that is almost exactly the way I reacted when the cases came out of my 44/77 Shiloh. #76 gns x Swiss 1.5 and a 480 grn Brooks ( original Postell/ Sharps gg ) was a lovely load to shoot out to 6-700 yds and was very effective for me at my first silhouette shoot. Case capacity does increase to the tune of about 5 gns or more and getting 85 gns behind a shallow seated pp bullet would be no problem for target work when one is wiping. I'm looking forward to dragging mine out again but it won't be till January now
