.44-77 PP bullets.

[Kurt]

I used the Echo's. One small bar 18" and a 36" around 80 CC. That saw had a 40 chisel chain that would cover my feet with chips in a hurry. That saw cut some big maples that needed a double cut to lay them down. Sold that saw to a local tree trimmer and kept the small one but the handle broke and no replacements anymore. I don't burn wood anymore except in the outside fire pit.
I just took this Poulan and heaved it as far as I can throw it in the yard. It will go in the scrap pile tomorrow. I just don't have any use for that king of garbage.

Sam, I keep the powder and wads up in the neck compress it around .200" or so and I do the same with the .44-90 bn. Both of these calibers and I have them in the 16, and 17 twist along with the 19 twist. the 17 and the 19 twists with both calibers seem to shoot better than the 16 for some reason, but the 16 twist has a very deep groove and I had the barrel maker replace it but later I asked to buy it back and I worked with it lapping it with some 80 grid valve grinding compound and finishing it with 800. It improver it but never to what the good barrels do.
The bottle necked seem to shoot better with a little compression than heavy shooting ladder loads.
Both of my .44-77's, one has a 19 twist and the other has a 17 twist, both have a standard chamber with a long funnel throat and will except a gg if I want to use one,
