Thread: 44-40 Reloading/Shooting

A couple of days ago I re read all of this thread because I'm just about to start reloading for a 44-40 carbine again

Read it all with renewed interest
And now today I find that all of @Arthur McBride s input to the thread has vanished !
He clearly had a wealth of knowledge about hunting loads in the 44-40 and that was what I was looking for
I can easily work up a plinking load with trailboss and cast lead projectiles

I'm in the process of cross checking his 240 grain projectile load with 26 grains of 2207
The crimping info was interesting but I am loading for a single shot so no big deal for me

Anyone using that 26 grain 2207 load with 240 grain jacketed projectiles ?
I'm not expecting anything great accuracy wise because the bore is only a 2.5 / 10
It's a big strong action but I sill want it to be safe because its circa 1888
