The head [45-70?, 45 Sporting?] is claimed to be a solid one, which is presumed to mean one, folded closely as at 0, similar to the Dutch Carbine cartridge. As it does not fulfill the conditions of a solid head it is rated under Clase 1. For case-head Class ratings, check here

Back in January 1919, an article published in "Arms And The Men" about the 44-40 and 45 Colt revolvers and smokeless powder. Ashley Haines writes about his journey with, and the accuracy of both in Colt and S&W revolvers using smokeless powders of the time. Haines never calls the 45 Colt a long colt, and with that....we focus on the 44-40!!! A few items caught my attention, Shooting the 44-40 Colt and 45 Colt at 50 yards with great results Referring to the 44-40 as a rifle cartridge and why Learning that the revolvers shoot best with pistol powder rather than rifle powder Shooting such loads during and after the NOT FOR PISTOL years, unless he has a short memory! Leading when using certain pistol powders It is a long and very good article; The Big Six Shooters

That box looks a little older than new....what is the stamp code on the inside of one of the end flaps?

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

The answer to everything use to be "in two weeks", now it is "this spring"!!!

44mag--44/40 Convertible Ruger Vaquero Bisley
Savvy Jack replied to Deacon Doug's topic in SASS Wire
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 -
44mag--44/40 Convertible Ruger Vaquero Bisley
Savvy Jack replied to Deacon Doug's topic in SASS Wire
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.
