Magtech - Lead Flat Nose - 200 Grain 44-40 WCF Cowboy Ammo - 50 Rounds
Details
When Winchester introduced the .44-40 centerfire cartridge in 1873, it was an instant success. Whether that was because of the caliber itself or because it was introduced along with the instantly famous 1873 Winchester rifle can be debated: immediately other companies like Marlin produced firearms in the same chamber and Colt along with Smith & Wesson followed suit with their revolvers, making the caliber the one stop ammo choice for rifle and handgun compatibility. It is “the” cowboy load along with the .45 Long Colt – though no *original* Winchester was ever chambered in the .45.
Magtech’s 200 grain lead flat nosed bullet possesses a muzzle velocity of 721 feet per second with 231 foot pounds of energy. This is an easy shooting range round that is also superb for use in Wild West style competitions, safe for use in tube fed magazines, like Winchester, thanks to the flat front not posing a discharge hazard to the next round during recoil.
