Dimensioning a 2-D PPB

[Kurt]

Well my work with the .44-100 and the DD bullet is on hold till I get my resizing die I ordered, the chamber is just to tight.
I ordered two dies one for the bare bullet and one for a patched bullet. Trying to seat a bullet in a sized case fired form this rifle using the 55 Y paper it hurts my thumb getting it in the case .100" and I had 7 cases separate over 5 range sessions. First I thought it was the cork wad doing the dirty work but it turned out it would even do it using a .023" OJ carton wad pulling the cases apart.
I loaded a few DD rounds patched with .002" thick paper and shot them in the Farmer and the .44-77 Shiloh hunting rifle with it's 19 twist standard chamber and both rifles shot well @200yds, actually the 19 twist printed them closer then the 17 twist Farmer.......I will pull the .44-90 bn 19 twist Shiloh out maybe next week and put some through it.
One good thing and that is a lot of fine trigger time.
