[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1826622, member: 10178"] 44-40 "While too anemic for deer hunting" ?????????? I guess all those millions of head of big game shot with a 44-40 just died of natural causes. Here is a quote from the old Hodgdon 26 edition loading manual. "Introduced in the Model 1873 rifle, the 44-40 Winchester was once to the deer hunter what the 30-30 eventually became. Some cartridge historians have even said that the 44-40 killed so many deer that the 30-30 had been around for many years before it accounted for an equal amount of venison." [/QUOTE]
