Anyone has a 44-40?

At one time the .44 WCF was the most popular hunting round. Then the 30-30 was introduced, and that was regarded as a long range round!

The .44-40 Winchester, also known as the .44 WCF (for Winchester Center Fire), was introduced in 1873 in the famous Winchester Model '73 lever action rifle that is often called "The Gun That Won the West." It became the most popular law enforcement and hunting cartridge in North America in that rifle, and later retained that title in the highly regarded Winchester Model 1892 lever action.

Outdoors: case life is one time only due to the thin neck and heavy crimp used in this load. The cases don't wear out due to pressure just working the thin case mouth by heavy crimping. (to prevent bullet set back in the mag)
