Got a call

[Kurt]

I have the .44s in 1/16, 1/17 and 1/19. The 16 does not shoot as well as the 19 and I see no different between the 17 and 19 shooting a 1.3" bullet, but the 17 with a 1.450 holds better than the 1.3 in the 19 at 1000.
Odd thing I can use the 1.450"" in the .44-90 BN with very good results at the 1K but the bullet needs to be a little harder than what I use for a 19 twist because of the faster rotation coming out of the .44-90.
I really don't see why the .44 lost favor over the .45.
