.44-77 and paper patch?

[Distant Thunder]

Kurt,

Wow! Nice groups. I hope mine works out that well, I'd be a happy man.

Don,

All the reasons I was drawn to the .44-77 years ago. I was talked into going with the .44-100 ST because the brass was much easier to get (.45-2.6"). We'll see how brass goes this time, but it will be a .44-77 either way. The 100 was a good cartridge but I had the chamber cut with too much freebore and being in a light rifle the recoil made me leave it in the safe to play with other friendlier rifles. This one should handle the recoil better with a couple more pounds and a little less powder.
