Wisconsin Rapids mid-range match with my .44-77.

[Distant Thunder]

Today was not the best day to retest my 91 grains of Goex 2F load but I had time. There were gust of 25-30 mph so I had to just shoot between the gusts! The only thing different than the first group with this load was the use of Jamison brass instead of BACO.


   
Shiloh .44-77 standard chamber 1 in 17 Krieger barrel 30"
BACO 441505EPP 503 grains
.060" LDPE wad
91.0 grains of Goex 2F 1/4" compression
BACO brass
Federal 215 LR magnum primers

This is only the second group with this load but it does put most of the shots in a tight cluster. Both groups had the 1st shot out of the core. In the first group it was right 1/2 MOA and in this group it was low 1 MOA. After that first shot thing settle in pretty quickly. The two high shots in today's group were probably helped by the wind though I did have one high one in the first group.

This looks to be my best bet so far but what do you other shooters think? I will work on this load some but time is getting short and I've got to get loading. I've got all winter to work out the bugs.

I would also like to say that a a call to Kirk Bryan and he told me how to get this trigger working like it should. He's a busy man but he took the time to answer my questions and get things working correctly.
