RE: .44-77 PP bullets.
All the boat ramps in the state are closed, but our season doesn't start until around the first Saturday in May and the lockdown is supposed to end on the 26th of April I believe. I've been looking forward all winter to getting out and doing some fishing this summer now that I am retired officially. Just like you it has been too cold here lately to think about doing too much fishing or camping yet. It's good working weather and yesterday and again today the snow has taken a big hit. I was finally able to get out and haul some firewood this morning with out getting stuck.
The 19-twist rifles should be good to just a pinch over 1.300", but not much over. The 17-twist 2.4s should be able to handle 1.450-ish very well, but again I wouldn't push them too much more. If you favor the new money bullet designs with their long, slender noses I'd tend to stay on the shorter side of things. On the other hand an original Postell or a true Medford style would work very well at those lengths.
