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

Don,

I could do that easy enough. It could be that there is something there that would worth exploring. Even if the group doubled in size it would only be 1 1/2 inches.

The other thing that I noticed is that the 4th target I shot today with 86 grains has .100" compression and that is the same amount of compression the 89 grain load had! That's interesting. Could it be that .100" compression is what makes the difference?

I think I'll load 5 with 89 grains and .100" compression and 5 with 86 grains and .100" compression. If one or both of those repeat I'll have to load 10 shots each and go again.
