Very early Ruger 77/44 bolt action rifle. One of first 300, based on ruger serial list! Found it after looking for months at the last Big Gun Show in Puyallup!
And if you're reading this and are into .44's on the same site, under .429, see 429-80 stack. Same thing, built to stack. and you can get it in a multi cavity mold so it doesn't take weeks to cast enough. I have a Lee 358-77-SWC single cavity and it's mind numbing trying to cast enough to load...
Or if you want to cast your own, check http://www.neihandtools.com/catalog/index.html and look at 358-77-BB. It's a 77gr bb wadcutter. you could stack those as many as you needed.
I have a book somewhere that showed drilling a hole in a board, then pounding buckshot into the hole to shape it to the dia, then stacked them in a Speer Shot capsule. Total weight determined the load. He also showed some special H&G moulds that had short wadcutters including a topper with a point.
