Development of PP loads for the .44-77.

[Distant Thunder]

Arnie,

As long as I get to shoot it works for me.

I'm going to shoot the remaining fireforming loads this morning and it's supposed to rain this afternoon, if it rain I'll start casting for Rapids. I probably go with this BACO adjustable mold because it's really all I have right now. I plan to call BACO and have the first conversation with them about a 2-D PPB of your elliptical design. I really have enough information to order one. I just changed a few dimensions from the drawing you made for me last year before I knew anything about the barrel and chamber.

The bore .438" and my 9# onionskin adds .007" when dry wrapped. The freebore is close to .075-.080" long. The fired cases are .447" inside the mouth. With my 17"-ROT I'm still going to stay a little short of the max OAL, some where between 1.430" and 1.460" should do well.

Here what I'm thinking would work well. Please take a look and let me know if you think looks good.
