I'll try some. I like Federal ammo when I don't have time to reload.

Those High Capacity boxes are evil. Nobody needs a box that holds more than 20rds. ;) :lol:

I will probably/maybe :roll: try a box of the 44's, but I can load a XTP round for around .40¢.

agree .... prior to introducing a new product they conduct market research to determine if the anticipated demand is sufficient to cover the expense of going into production and making a profit ..... per Henry's website, they offer 17 lines of rifles chambered for 44 Mag .... they offer 3 chambered for 41 Mag .... Federal does offer the 327 which Henry only offers in 3 lines so the volume of sales for those 3 lines probably comes into play
Well that being said, didn't they just do all that said research and determine that there was a profitable market for that particular "rifle"?
Just like the 38-55, when was the last new made? Maybe Winchester has I don't know.
So if your Trying to sell these calibers, and you are working with an Ammunition co. to develop ammo for this types of rifles,
Why not include those in the mix? Even maybe a special run.
I would have to check to see how many companies that still make those two.
Know there are few for the 41 but have no idea about the 38-55.

Just my thoughts, not that it means that much, but
hey ain't that we are here for. :lol:

Something you might not have thought of. Markets can be and are "manufactured" all the time. Look at the entire "technology" sector. 10 years ago there was exactly zero market for Twitter, etc. Now it's a giant market because a few billion people were persuaded that it's as necessary as air. Henry Ford understood this also. :)
Id throw the new caliber that Winchester developed last year 350 Legend into this thought.
