44-77 brass

[Don McDowell]

Thanks for the offer Sam, but I think with the number of moulds I have on hand now for the 44 I'm pretty well set. That's one of the big perks of the Eysnford powder ,the lubed felt wad and jojoba on the exposed patch. I can shoot bullets quite a bit larger than previously possible without wiping. The dual diameter bullet copied from that original sharps bullet that Old West made is a real gem in that the base at .435, and the nose at .431 gives the bullet base good purchase on the rifling and the skinny nose allows loading in a fouled chamber, and the dang thing delivers good accuracy. Thinking serious about having Brooks cut me one with a fixed 1.3 inch length, but I also like that hollow base... but for now I'll just be happy.
