    I use Starline brass in my Chiappa 44-40 Spencer cavalry carbine without issue and have never annealed cases.

    I use Starline .44 WCF brass in a Cimarron 1873 Sporting Rifle and 1860 Henry. I mostly shoot full black powder loads, some .44 Henry Flat-equivalent BP loads, and some smokeless with Unique. I've never annealed my cases. Even with the reduced BP loads the cases fully seal the chamber, with no fouling getting back into the action.

    I have two new production Win/Miroku 1973's in 44-40 one likes RP brass and boolits sized .429" the other WW brass and a .430" boolit.Let the rifle tell you what it likes,I have no problems compressing 40 grs. 2F and using 230 gr. boolits. I started with B/P and no reason to mess with anything else for me, all the accuracy I could ask for with very good velocities.
