The .44-77 1980's made Farmingdale Shiloh

[Kurt]

It might be Don. I have used this bullet during the time before the match at the MT 1000 and it stayed on the iron using the 19 twist .44-90bn but the 17 twist 100 st. Tollefson rifle held better in the white the same day but the lesser powered .44-77 might make a difference.
I have shorter moulds that will get tested with this project.
I have a ladder load using 2F OE with the same bullet I will do the next run with maybe tomorrow. The range is down for work day today.
The left oblique 75 gr load and the right oblique 77 gr load I think is more like what I call fat fingering, but this is what I want to find out because the 78 gr load is more like it should be. More of a round group. But they are all at 3.5" horizontal and I did not change the sight setting for all shots fired.

When I get all bullet profiles shot I will get the adjustable mould out and go from a 1.3" long to 1.55" long and see where the 1/17 twist starts to fall apart. But I'm limited to 200 yards but it should show some signs at this range.
I know the .44-90bn with a 16 twist holds the 1.55" out to 600 yards I have tested it at.
But for now I want to get the Farmer reliable so I can use it for the midrange type matches.
