Olde E and the BACO bullet

[Kurt]

I took my .44-100 back to the range this morning after going through my brass that got mixed after cleaning it that made me think my 44 died on me. I got some real wild shots that really had me worried. What was going on is I had brass I just shot once got mixed with brass that was shot several times. I also got some vergin lead and tin and mixed some new alloy making sure that the alloy I been using wasn't mismarked.
I shot four different load and bullet combinations. A 487 gr Brooks porlate and a 500 gr KAL elliptical loaded with 2F KIK and 2F Old E using the same volume, not weight, and at 200 yards the 2F E powder with the 500 gr KAL bullet won out with 7 shots at 1-3/4" the KIK load with the 478 gr prolate shot a respectable 2-5/16".
