Loading the .44-40... - 09/07/12
Anybody loading the 44-40? I read that it can be a hard round to load for because there are so many bore sizes out there. It is suggested to get a bore cast to get the right bore size for the bullet. Any other problems?
I posted this on the Handguns forum but realized I probably should have posted this here as I'm thinking of purchasing a Uberti 1860 Henry for fun shooting. Nothing magnum out of it. Looking at the 44-40 out of a 24" barrel. I figure the 44-40 should be as close to the original .44 Rim-fire as I'm likely to get.
I came across this article I thought I'd post this for whatever it's worth.
