Super cool tools Stephen!

You are a skilled craftsman!

I loaded up some 44-77 for the last time before hunting season. Just finished up filing my front sight for a 100 yards zero and filing the flip up rear sight for 200.

I hope to use it on a pinedale area moose hopefully in a few weeks after a few days with the bow scouting.

Nice looking rifle and rounds Denali! What weight bullet will the moose digest? I did not build the capper-decapper, some day I will sit down and build myself one. A lot of work went into it and I am glad to own it.

That is a nice capper/de-capper Stephen.
I have a 310 tool set for the .44-77. I got for a pack tool when I'm on the road. But I use it more here at home and at the range. They work just fine.
You ever blow a cap pushing it in ?

Kurt

Nope Kurt, I have never blown a primer pushing it in the case. I do wear safety glasses when reloading though! It's the rule in my shop! My kids even grab the glasses first off when they walk in. Teach them young

A friend of mine who is a tattoo artist shooting my 50/70 at 460 yards. It was his first time and he can't weigh a 140 pounds soak and wet! The look on his face is priceless! Enjoy!!!

Stephen looking at the sight it looks like close to 600 yards?????

[Stephen Borud]

Kurt you are right, he was shooting at the other target at 689 yards. Good eye.

I thought that looked close to my 600 yard Quigley setting on the .44-77.

The moose bullet weighs 415 gr cast 40:1.
