Development of PP loads for the .44-77.

[Distant Thunder]

The repeat test wasn't bad, but the first shot out of cold clean barrel went a bit low. The next 4 went into 2 1/2" with all 5 were in 3 inches. It's time to start thinking about what to do next to tighten things up. I would go with this load as is if I had to, it's not bad.

   

The last group of the day was shot with the 450 bullet from my BACO 431ADJ mold and is the load I used at Rapids at 220 yards for the offhand target and the prone ones. Now I understand why I missed one gong prone at 220 yards slipping the shot just under the gong! Still if I could get the vertical tightened up it's a possible offhand load, nice and mild shooting.
