I got the .44 as it was an ex club gun that was going at a reasonable price. I generally use around 22gr volume of Triple 7in the gun but as I rotate my usage of my target guns i'm hardly likely to run out soon.

The .44 makes a bigger hole than .36 for target shooting!

Good luck with casting your own balls, I wish I could do it but 2 young kids and not enough room make it an impossibility for me.
Yes you have hit the provable nail on the head "Barn Door" realistically I will be happy to hit the Barn any where !!! I shell worry about that on a date in the future which I will let all of you my mentors know about
As for casting yes I am a lucky person to have the space and indeed the time to persue another branch of
are glorious and rewarding past time.Thank you for reminding me of the fact that ·44 is bigger and that's always good in the cutting of target line you have given me something to think about
My best regards to your self and your family from Frank
