All good info.. My hunting friend has a 77/44 and hasn't been pleased with the groups he's getting with factory ammo so I may start loading for him. I was initially thinking of the Hornady #4300 265fp, but may reconsider. I am going to be reloading with these for next year in my 444 Marlin. Another thing I didn't see, but could have missed, is if you are seating and crimping in the same step, or have a separate crimp die?
Also from Ohio.. Dayton area.. |

I'm in the Dayton area as well, just a little ways up Rt 4.
To answer the question in the last post, I am seating and crimping in different stations. (Lee 4 die set) I finally got to put a shot on a deer tonight... 1/1 for a one shot stop. I was watching the deer through some brush and couldn't get a good definitive range, but it was probably about 80 yards. Hit just behind the shoulder, little high, did NOT appear to exit the opposite side I shot her right at sunset, so I wanted to get the guts out before it got dark, so I didn't have time to play CSI and see just exactly how far she went, but probably about 25 yards before she dropped. I'm not butchering it myself but I told the guys that I'd like to have the bullet if they happen to see it. The hole you see is the entrance.
