Well my buddy sprung on me that we are going shooting soon and I don't have anything to test out of my 44-40 guns! :shock:

I believe I read where the bores and chambers for the Uberti 44-40 were the same as the 44 Specials to cut down on cost, so .429? What would be the best size boolits to try, .431?

Does anyone have a couple handfuls to let me try for a small fee?

You should really slug the barrel or do a chamber cast /pound cast and find out exactly what it needs.

If youre free this weekend...I am passing through SC. Can put them in your hands somewhere. Im about to post about the 44 Hammer in a minute. It weighs 275 grains or 265ish as a HP.
