44 slicks

Don, Yes, I still have rifles. in just a couple of minutes I'm heading out to one of our local shoots. My .44/77 is my choice again.

Mike, Let me suggest that you try Accurate Molds' #44-400P, that's a tapered slick weighing 400 grains. It's working rather well for me and I'm using it in Jamison brass. Take a look at it at www.accuratemolds.com. Mike

Mike,

Thanks for the info. Your design looks pretty cool! I am going to have accurate do something similar with a blunt round nose. Is you rifle the standard chamber? Do you reload without resizing? What paper are you using and how easily do they chamber in a fouled barrel? My gun has a tight chamber so when i get the jameson brass ill have to fire form it and do some math to figure the base diameter im looking for with the paper i have.

How well does yours shoot with the tapered bullet?

Sorry for all the questions.

Accurate made a couple designs of mine (43-405p and 43-500p). The 500 uses thin paper and the 405 uses thick paper. This is for baco brass sized with 43 spanish lee die. Ultimate goal however is to get a bullet in unresized jameson brass that chambers easily in my tight necked gun and doesnt require fouling control. Hopefully it will shoot consistent 2" groups too.

Thanks for sharing

Mike
