Time to continue load development with my .44-77.

Jim,

I just went through some of my ladder load test targets for the .17 twist .44-77 Farmer and I get those unexplained flyers also but they start to disappear with the heavier loads but I mostly use the OE powder in 1.5F and 2F.
I don't have any saved using the Sharps profile cast with the Brooks adjustable mould. Most of my records are with the Sage mould and the KAL Gibbs.
It seems like from what I have worked with this 17 twist .44-77 it performs best with the longer bullets like the Sage and the Gibbs. The Gibbs is 1.460" long and the Sage is 1.457". Using these heavier bullets my verticals shrunk in my rifle.

Forgot to mention,
The right target has two different bullets. The left string was shot with the Sage and the right with a BA bullet.
