.44-77 PP bullets.

[Distant Thunder]

Don,

I first had the itch for a .44-77 back in 2004 and I was set to have of my rifles rebarreled to that cartridge. Some "friends" talked me out of it for all the same reason people don't chamber this as often as they otherwise would, mostly brass problems.

That .45-70 (.44-77 wantabe) had been sitting in my safe doing nothing for 3 years. I have more .45-70s than a man can shoot apparently! Then someone advertised a Shiloh take off .44-77 barrel for sale and a light bulb came on in the back corner of my mind, DUH!

Now the deal for the Shiloh barrel didn't go my way but it got the gears turning. I moved too quickly and made a lot of mistakes getting to this point, but it will have been all worth it when my rifle comes home again!

If anyone is thinking of having Shiloh rebarrel your rifle with a non-Shiloh barrel please talk to me first! I can tell all the things NOT to do and save you 6 months of waiting in hell! It will be worth your time.
