Shiloh 44-77 Hartford

[Eric Johanen]

Completely forgot that! Not enough coffee prior to my post. Loads are put up for the shoot and used the same components as above but compressed the powder about half again as much and dry wrapped the bullets with .002 100% bond paper. Slip fit in the fired cases and secured with the .457 bushing in my Meacham die. Bullets rotate but do not fall free when the cartridge is turned upside down. I expect a little less fouling and maybe a pickup of a few FPS. Have been working with mainly a "hunting" type load and now starting to work up a "target" load for this cartridge and rifle. We will see how they fly on Saturday!
