reforming 44mag to 44-40 (44wcf)

[broncoo]

i am thinking that it is common, but is the case mouth thickness an issue. i have not been able to find any info relating to this anywhere

 

[A-zone]

Why not just use 44-40 brass?

44 mag cannot be made into 44/40, they are different base diameters. You could trim and reform 303 British, though. I use them to make longer then standard brass for shot loads.

.44-40 has a much larger base diameter than .44 Magnum/Special/Russian. So-called "5 in 1" blanks have been made for the movie industry that fit .45 Colt, .38-40, and .44-40 guns, as these three cases share the same base diameter. I suppose you might hypothetically be able to form .44-40 cases from .45 Colt, but I don't think it would be worth the effort.

Hope you have better luck, I couldn't give my new brass away at my last show

 

[Why not?]

You can give it to me, and I'll load it for an old First Nations elder up here who still uses it on his trapline.

I love .44-40 brass if you have more than Ted can use.

I think it's already found a home
