    Yep a half turn more in the seating die to give a little more crimp will solve that problem! Why are you all scared to put enough crimp on your rounds. Easy problem to solve use enough crimp!

    And what info would that be? The 44-40 is no where close in capability of the 45 LC. I don't think I've seen any 300 gr load for the 44-40? Now we re talking about a '73 action. So...

    Don't own a '73 but my Win '94 in 45LC is thumper ! Unlike the '73 it can be loaded to low 45-70 power levels with 300 plus gr bullets. At the '73 level loads it a dream to shoot an accurate as hell!
