RE: 44 slicks
Mike,

I like the tapered bullet also. They work best for shooting dirty or BT.
I shot these 8 rounds @ 130 yards using the .44-77 with the barrel sights today using the Gibbs tapered bullet with 75 grains of 2FG Olde-E with the Gibbs cast with 1/40 L/T @ 485 gr.
Those 8 rounds went into 1 1/8" vertical and 2-1/8" horizontal From L-R 512gr BA, 475 gr Brooks prolate, 507 gr KAL elliptical, Brooks 485 gr Sharps copy and the KAL tapered Gibbs.
The elliptical and the prolate are cast with 1/16 L/T and the other three are cast using 1/40 L/T.
I dont use the two pointed bullets in the .44-77 with the 1/19 twist. They just wont stay stable past 5-600 yards.

Kurt
