reloading the .44M&H cartridge

[Buggy O'BenSHOOTER]

I would like to reload  some .44 M&H cartridges. Is there anyone who knows what cartridge case to use? Where to find any information on the subject. Thanks

Not that are easy to get, maybe they are now, but I think if you look at the case specs, I think .303 Savage brass was looking close before cut & form.

 

I almost went down that .44 M & H rabbit hole.

What does the  M &H stand  for?

Scroll down to US, British pistol cartridges. 

 

Also, Happy Trails (Bill English, The Smith Shop) might have some good information for you. I think he used to fool around with a 44MH.

Not long ago, I learned of .32 M&H.  Turns out that it's longer than .32 S&W, but shorter than .32 S&W Long.  Meaning you can use the shorter S&W brass in the gun.

 

However I don't know if the .44 M&H has any relation to any of the other .44's of the era.  That might be the thing to research.
