.44-77 PP bullets.

[Distant Thunder]

Don,

Yes, I know I have some of those 2-D bullets from you. I have a lot of bullets and I'll sort through testing them and keep good notes after my fireforming is done and I do some preliminary development with the ones from my BACO adjustable bullet. I'll need to figure out what the rifle likes for primers, powder and wads. Then I'll do testing with those 2-D bullets I got from you and the all PPB I got from Kurt. That will give me an idea for what bullets I want to use for the various kinds of shooting I hope to do, silhouette, Creedmoor and hunting.

None of that will happen until this panicdemic thing is over and Shiloh can go back to work and hopefully finish my rifle. It's probably fairly close to being done, I know it has been chambered so it shouldn't take two long once things return to ?normal?.

The other thing I'll need to figure out is what paper I will be using. I have both 9# and several brands of 7#. They all work, but one may work better than the others. Time will tell. I have used my 9# with good success and my thinking always starts there. I have had good results with the 7# too, but I haven't used it as much as the 9#.

I'll be asking for your help once I get started working up loads so do go too far. I have printed out many of your posts as well as those of Kurt's. I am in the process of reading all that information again and making notes on your good loads, that will give me a solid starting point. This .44-77 is my first bottleneck cartridge, but I'm not real concerned about it, I should be able to get it up and running with your help and the help of others on this forum. There is a lot of experience here.
