.44-77 PP bullets.

[J.B.]

Actually Jim, I was curious as to what question I'd asked... as I've asked quite a few. Either way it was an interesting question. I've not seen one of the Remington Special long range cartridges to make a comparison and most 44/77 originals I've seen photos of...look relatively deep seated compared to the long range 45 cartridges. I did see one photo of a 520 gn bullet in a 44/90 bn..and that looked to be a fairly shallow seating depth. I gather Remington was the only one to load the heavier bullets in the 44 x 2 1/4"...and they called it the 44S. Now I'm a big fan of the .44 Special.. but its a might small for this rifle. ... Recoil would be down though
