44-77 brass

[Nuclearcricket]

I wish, but no. I do have a very nice Shiloh, but its a #1 with a heavy barrel in 45-70. It does shoot well, and I have had it throated but don't know what angle it was. 11 deg sticks in my mind but don't hold me to that. I have a pedrosoli roller I picked up years ago as a kit from Cape Outfitters. Since I all ready have 3 45-70's that pretty much cover all the action options, bolt, lever, Sharps, I figured that roller would be much better as a 44-77. It is a pistol grip action with an octagon receiver ring, it looks like a creedmore rifle and should be in a creedmore caliber.
I got brass, got some more on the way, got the bullet mold on the way, have a barrel, now to scratch up the cash to get it all put together. I am hoping to have it all done by fall. The butstock needs a little refitting as the lower tang warped a little when it was cased and the forend will need to be glassbedded as the original barrel has no taper on it. The final step will be to have one of my site bases redrilled to fit the holes in the tang.
