  1. Got it!! Has been added to the box date code spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Jy0pGqWPRx2HOQqufbcnEM1lv6tCWBJsCOB8vLIDOIg/edit#gid=1860800684
  2. Oh yes it is, always has been....basically since 1895
  3. Guys....all I want is to see photos of the 44-40 power-point box art....... no intensions on purchasing anything
  4. Has anyone seen a new box of 44-40 power point ammo with the new box art?
  5. That box looks a little older than new....what is the stamp code on the inside of one of the end flaps?
  6. I waited 15 "seasons" for 44-40 Winchester brass and JSP bullets, finally gave up years ago. To this day I have NEVER seen any factory 44-40 Winchester or Remington ammunition or components in any store I have ever been in.....LOL
  7. The answer to everything use to be "in two weeks", now it is "this spring"!!!
  8. However you obtain a 44-40 cylinder, just make sure it is cut properly to utilize .429/.430 bullets. Here is an old link to a 2014 topic about the OMV 44-40 and 44 Mag cylinder. https://www.rugerforum.com/threads/my-blackhawk-44-44-40-convertible.199186/#post-1993822
  9. Should be Super Blackhawk and Old Model Vaquero. The Old Model has a larger frame, I believe, as compared to the New Model I have the Uberti Buckhorn 44 Mag revolver with a 44-40 conversion cylinder. As usual, only 44 Mag/44 Special for the same cylinder. The 44-40 is a separate cylinder. If you order a cylinder for it, either-or, you will have "fit-it", or get it "fitted", more than likely. 44 Mag revolver with 44-40 cylinder, loaded with custom HP loads.
  10. GREAT REPORT! 4" at 100 yards is good. the 44-40 doesn't get much better than that.....consistency speaks volumes! Winchester Repeating Arms, December 20th, 1873 mailed news letter. Winchester's first announcement in their very own catalog was not offered until 1875. Of course the catalog was dominated by the introduction of the 73' rifle. There are no less than 62 testimonials and one 110 yard group by Doc Pardee, which should give a hint as to how many were received by their new owners by the end of 1874. Aside from Winchester's 1875 catalog, Winchester also placed adds in the 1875, August 21st, Forest & Stream publications. These adds actually took the place Remington's add, pushing Remington down to a smaller add. Included in one add are more long distance shooting targets to include Doc's 110 yard group. The 73' had already proven itself and in just a tad over a year, Winchester dropped the Forest & Stream ads (Nov 1876). 110 yards My results using smokeless rifle powder Reloder 7
