44-77 brass

Mike, I agree with you assessment on why brass is made the way it is. I just feel that it is kind of a shame that things are not more consistent in the chambering of some firearms. I do feel that you have made a very good decision to send your barrel to C.Sharps to have them chamber it for you. The more things are the same the better things will be in the long run. If you look back on this thread you should find a drawing that I got from Pacific tool for their chamber reamer for the 44-77. that is what I will be using for my barrel. My guess at this time is that this will be my only rifle in that caliber. And since I am hoping that I will be able to reload with out ever having to full length size the cases I should be ok with however the chamber comes out unless it is grossly oversize, something that I hope doesn't happen.
And with the prices you have to pay these days for brass like the 44-77 you absolutely don't want to do anything to over work that brass and being able to shoot the same loaded rounds in either gun is a good thing, as it would suck to have different chambers and grab the wrong ammo on your way out of town to shoot and then find out it doesn't fit.
