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

[Distant Thunder]

J.B.

It will be very similar to the one in your picture. The "Metford" bullet in your picture is similar to, though perhaps a bit blunter than, my "Metford" bullet that I shot at Lodi last weekend. Mine did fairly well in some nasty winds and actually was my best result to date for long range with my .44-77.

As I said, this one is patterned after the elliptical I use in my .45-70 and I have won a lot of matches with that bullet and it has held up best in the wind of all the bullets I have used.

With this new mold I will have molds for all 4 of the bullets I wanted to try in the .44-77 when I started with this rifle, a 2-diameter elliptical, a Metford style, an original Sharps style and now my Lodi bullet. I also have and adjustable from BACO and that one shoots well.

If I can get the accuracy I need out of this new mold it should be the best of them all. Time will tell.
