Development of PP loads for the .44-77.

[Distant Thunder]

Kurt,

Heck yea, come on in the waters fine! I would encourage any .44-77 shooter to join in, the more information the better. I like the free and fair exchange of ideas.

That Gibbs bullet shoots really well.

I was running low on bullets today and I often go to 3 shot groups when I want to quickly sort things out. None of the 5 primers I tried shot bad but the Federals really looked good.

I plan to cast more bullets tomorrow, hopefully enough to shoot the 210 & 215 primers again with 5 or 10 shot groups and enough for Rapids, maybe even Lodi.

I'm finding the same thing, this bullet shoots well with a variety of loads. It will be interesting to see how it works at 600 at Rapids and out to 1000 at Lodi.

I've been patching it right up to the line where the ogive starts and haven't had any problems. So far the single .060 ldpe wad is what's working for me. I don't have the wad stack thing figured out yet.

Post all you want on your development and I'll read every word.
