Development of PP loads for the .44-77.

[Distant Thunder]

Two more groups at 100 as I look for what this rifle will like.

Everything the same except I used Federal 210 LR (Lower) and 215 LRM primers (Upper).

   

To me the 210 group looks a bit better, tighter core group and less vertical.

So I'll take the 2f Goex and Federal 210 LR primers and try 76, 78, 80 and 82 grains and see what it looks like. I'm also ready to move to 200 meters the scope is sighted in and 200m will tell me more about how the loads are shooting.

I'm looking for groups at 200 that are like the last two at 100, something under 3 inches and if 3 inches it should be 10 shots.

This so far is going better than the load development with my .40-65 and that turned out real well. There are a lot more things I can do to improve the groups as I look for a load I know can win any match I enter. That then leaves the on going work of dealing with the old guy that's pulling on the trigger!
