.44s

[Kurt]

Gavin,

The .44-77 or any bottle necked blk powder cartridge gets labeled as being a tough round to load or make shoot accurately. That gets passed on by what I call parrots. People that read someone post that BS that have never loaded or even shot a round like the .44-77, .44-90bn (.44-2-5/8 Sharps) or the .44-90 Rem Sp.
There is a disadvantage with the bottle necked rounds and that is the expensive dies if you cant make your own and getting the proper brass for those chambers. And that has changed since Jamison picked up the rope for that.
Proper bullets are not a problem with all of the good custom mould makers we can get to make moulds for the "off breed" rounds.
