Continuing development with the .44-77.

Jim,

I have a friend that uses nothing but 1/20 L/T alloy and he ends up winning or very close to winning at these Gong shoots.
Nothing wrong using a softer alloy as long as it sets the nose straight back so the bullet flies straight and that has a lot to do with correctly loading that round.

For me looking at bullets, I have to see what a particular alloy or shape of the bullet ends up after it clears the barrel. It's fine to speculate but that does not show the actual results.
My Match winning days are ending. I can put tight groups shooting off sand bags but in actual matches I'm way down from my junger days. I just finished a room with a new loading bench can shelves, cabinets and all. Carol said I'm going to bring up all your trophies and wall hangers from the basement that have been in boxes for years and fill the glass cabinet and the top shelf. I said fine but you dust them off when they need be.

After a couple weeks ago at the Quigley pretty much shut me down with these heavy recoiling rifles. The Eye Doc said I will suggest not to shoot these rifles when it gets hot. This last episode with both eyes developing a problem he might be right.
I pulled the .22 out today took the tang sight off and mounted the scope on it and shot some off hand practice and I could barely see the target in full sun. The scope was so dim that I thought I had dust on the lenses.

Hell getting old........

I see the first two bullets look like the once I gave you out of that bunch. If you would like I can send you the moulds of the Sage and the altered DD if you want to cast a bunch for Lodi.
Your welcome to use them.

Kurt
