Thanks. cool

The 44-77 left it's mark in history shooting a bullet 1.1 inches long ( 410 grs), not sure but I doubt those buffalo of the 1870's were any tuffer than the pen raised things folks shoot nowadays


the most expensive bullet there is isn't worth a plug nickel if it don't go where its supposed to.
