Sedalia Dave Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 They haven't. Buffalo Arms sells them, Just be prepared for some serious sticker shock. Some of the smaller commercial reloaders will load them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuayThaiJJ Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 I saw that, pricey indeed. But when was the last time these were produced widely? 100 years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Seems like I've heard that .44 Rimfire BP ammo was made until the 1940's, but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisco Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Not sure when they stopped totally, but when Phil Sharpe wrote his Complete Guide to Handloading in 1937 there were only 14 rifle and 26 pistol cartridges still being produced loaded with black powder. The .38-40 and .44-40 were included in his list of handgun cartridges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
