Anybody reloading 44-40?

Because of Covid-19 social distancing I find myself doing jobs I haven’t done for a while, I was cleaning out a storage cabinet of mine and found these.

They’ve been shot once, I guess I kept them because of JW and they look pretty, probably why I didn’t throw them out. Anybody want them I’ll send them to you just pay postage. If interested just pm.

I almost bought my 1860 in 44-40 but the lack of available factory ammo was what turned me to 45 Colt. I did not reload at the time or might have stuck with the 44-40.

Its a great caliber and actually at long ranges will out shoot the 45 colt. I did shoot that caliber in lever gun silly wet before changing to my current fav 38-55

[RanchRoper]

Maybe need an iron frame Henry 1860 in 44-40....

[BigAl52]

Bummer that 1885 is still not here. Ive looked at 1885 38-55's many times but its only got that far.

[RanchRoper]

I am at the point where I will just wait for it. I am too stubborn to quit even though a part of me wants to just buy something else. I will contact the guy again this week for any updates. I think it will be worth the wait.

Actually I just found 2 full boxes of those JW loads, I should clean out cabinets more often.

[RanchRoper]

That is very cool packaging.

One of my granddaughters asked if they were silver bullets for werewolves

[RanchRoper]

Tell her you were the Lone Ranger....

[brm4450]

[RanchRoper]

Ya they missed all the good stuff...

[BigAl52]

Nobody has an interest, I'll take 'em.
Got a friend who has 3 or 4 44-40's I'll just send 'em to him.

Send me a PM as to where and how much.

Vaquero just PM me an address and I’ll just send’em, no charge.

I am so glad that somebody had a use for them, it would’ve been hard to trash them.
