Development of PP loads for the .44-77.

[Eric Johanen]

I did some work on my sight yesterday. At the match with the slider bottomed it was just at the bottom of the 200 yard line. I am now at 3/64" below the 200 yard line. Still plenty of metal on the bottom of the slider to go lower if necessary. Must shoot it and see where it prints now. Using the Lawrence long staff rear and a Hartford front sight on a heavy octagon barrel . The load I used held windage pretty well when I did my part nothing wider than the 9 ring at the widest, just need to get the elevation sight picture consistent. V notch on the slider after opening it up a bit for older eyes centers the front well. I did open the notch on the sight when the staff is down and both are much easier to center the blade now. Staff down shoots well at 100 yards and modifying the slider for two hundred should be just the ticket!
