Hi Stephen
nice pics
what kind of target you punched on this distance ?
Klaus
RE: 44/77 in action - Stephen Borud - 07-24-2012
Klaus I was shooting rocks on a hill side at different distances! This is the best way to practice for hunting as far as I'm concerned! I like shooting at rocks that are the size of antelope vitals!
Don nothing special about my loads! 75 gr of express Fg, .025 circle fly was, 3/16 lube, .025 CF wad and a 410 gr pp brooks bullet! I really like this rifle Don!

I'm thinking beins as the only match I might get to shoot before hunting season this year is Ekalaka, I may go ahead and peel the target sights off of my gun and go to work with the elephant ivory blade and ladder sight . I can always shoot a gong match with those sights if I get to go to one, and we got a couple of monster buck antelope needin shot....
I know how you feel about your rifle, I am totally flumaxed as to why the cartridge died, unless it just didn't take well to smokeless powder way back in the day....

Sounds like a good idea Don! Post a picture of the elephant ivory sight! I would like to see it!
