Development of PP loads for the .44-77.

[Kurt]

Well you got my two 5 shot groups beat by an inch and and the second by an inch and three eights.
I can only get 85 grains of 1.5 OE in the case so I started with that and compressed it with a .060" fiber gasket wad and seated the bullet .115" in the case. the second load was 82 gr. Both groups were round clusters.
I just finished loading a ladder load starting with 80 gr of 2E and ended with 85 gr. If the range is not to busy tomorrow I will give it another try. My .44-77 Hartford favors the 2F OE. I will see what the Farmer will do with it.
The conditions were not to good with a front moving it today and it seems like every body wants to ask questions and talk so I didn't shoot all my shells and went home.

It might be time to break in the new neighbors and shoot in my yard but it's short at 135 yardsI can get 180 but I might hit the corner of the house
