You 1894 boys have any advice for cast loading the 44-40 ?
I'm seeing one on an auction site that has grabbed my fancy and figured I would like to know any Pros/ Cons about reloading for this caliber.
I already have a 444 , two thats three 44 magnums now heh and a 44 special . So it only seems fitting that a 44-40 be in the future.
Would .429 diameter bullets push the pressure way up in the Marlin 44-40 ? Are they known for over bore barrels in this caliber like plagued the 44s and 444s for years ?
I know alot of question , But i like to have all my ducks in a row before I dive into new ( mouth to feed) rifle in a caliber I have no experience reloading.
This is a Cowboy Limited 1894CB 44-40 that I suspect is fairly new .
Thanks in advance guys.
