44-77S loads please

Gentlemen , I am doing research in preparation for a SSRJ article.   

I consulted the Wizard of Oz (ai) on load data and got some detailed information. It got me to thinking, can it determine accurate data from a Baloney Sandwich. 

So I am legit asking for loads for my 44-77 Remington rolling block.  After a few days, I’ll post  the most fantastic loading known to man and then see if Oz can determine if I should use this baloney sandwich or not.  When you see my next post, if you want to join in and recommend some Baloney Sandwich of your own, feel free. 


I will delete the entire thread after I re ask the question to the great Oz,
because I don’t want future generations to know about the benefits of adding elk eyelash or something else to the load. 

Let’s have fun! For about 2 weeks……

That is a fairly large volume case and best suited for loads with Black Powder. I have a rolling block chambered in 44-77 and so far have only shot black powder in it and see no reasons to change that. Mine has a  new GM 17" twist barrel. I have shot a 480 gr grease grove bullet as well as paper patched bullets near that weight. With Jameson brass I am able to put aroune 78 or so grains of black powder. 
Seems to shoot very well in my rifle.

Loads for the 43 Spanish should be close enough for your needs.  As far as AI is concerned, it’s garbage when trying to use it for load data IMO.  You’re better off looking at old manuals on the internet archives for data.

In Mike Venturino's book " Shooting Buffalo Rifles of the Old West he lists the 44-77 and 43 Spanish together as one.
