Sure has been quiet here
Where are all the 855 members???
Weather is turning to the better so everyone should be out load development or just busting rocks and shooting match reports should be coming in good or bad.

RE: Sure has been quiet here
Don,
I like the blunter ogives like that 438-470. I use it for a lot of my moulds from the .44's to the .50. It's very forgiving when the winds kick up.
With that long .400" at .438 diameter patched to maybe .444 + a little you must be seating it deep in the .44-77 ?? or does it have some freebore?
I had to make a longer base diameter for my .38-50 that has a .110" freebore.

RE: Sure has been quiet here
I’ve taken 6 shots with the new 77 45-70,it’s not been without problems and promises . Took it back to Shiloh to have them mount the front and rear sights. The front sight is/was a MVA Winchester Style Windage , they spent 30 min. doing the work.
Go to the range first five shots all in the ten ring @100 yds. Wind and snow finally push me off the range. 520 gr. Paul Jones Creedmoor 45001 69 grs. Swiss 1.5 has been a winner in my 74 and I am pleased this shows the same potential in the 77.
Next trip out a few days later and take shot #6 and the front sight is loose and ready to fall off. Have no ides why, Shiloh is not in the practice of loose screws . Those MVA Winchester front sights are a pain in the butt I replaced it with a #116 .I have my 100 yd. setting now for a 200 yd dead wind setting and real fun begins.

RE: Sure has been quiet here
My shooting partner and I are finally able to get back on our practice range at Spooner. We take turns shooting and pulling targets at five and six hundred yards.
Over the winter I bought two BACO Creedmoor mounds. One paper patch for my long range rifle and the other is grease groove for my Shiloh. Both have been giving great results with scores in the mid 90’s at 500 yards.
Regretfully, I missed the Long range match at Harris where I as hoping to give the patched bullet the real test. Myself and others were duped by the weather forecast and didn’t make the trip over. They were able to get most of the shooting and in on Saturday in spite of rather wet conditions and should’ve had a good day to finish yesterday.
I’m now gearing up for the Quigley match. People have been telling me that I should at least go once.
Arnie. Any gong matches at Merrill this month?
Jim
