Anyone casting/loading for this cartridge?

I'm very interested in what you have to say.

I'm no expert, but IIRC, M&H chambered their revolvers for 2 44 cartridges. One was a "proprietary" copy of the 44 S&W American cartridge, The other, and the only one I ever shot, was chambered for the 44-40. The only load data I have on hand for the 44 American is a 205 grain 427-098 over 3 grains of bullseye, and I have never tried it. Come to think of it, I don't racall ever seeing a gun that chambered that cartridge. That's all I got, sorry.
