Another period correct Buffalo rifle in .44-77

RE: Another period correct Buffalo rifle in .44-77
I like the dual diameter bullet 1.3 inches long and 435 at the base. Wrap it in 7 or 8 lb. paper, a dry lubed felt wad and a .030 card wad, jojoba the exposed patch after the bullet is seated and shoot into the 90's at 300 yards, with no fouling control other than a blow tube.. Shot the entire course at the Quigley never wiped the barrel and got over 50 % hits with the ladder sights.
A wise man can always be found alone. A weak man can always be found in a crowd.
