G'day gents,
I thought I might try something out of the ordinary today. I resized 25 .44 mag cases to 44-40. I loaded some with 6.5 grns of trail boss and the remainder with 20grns of 2400. They fall into the 44-40 chamber of my '92 Winchester. I am conscious of the thickness of the 44 mag cases and that of the win. 44-40 cases. Is there someone out there with much more knowledge of pressure than myself. I am thinking that while the cartridges fall into the chamber, and when cartridge goes off I'm of the opinion the case would not go back to the 44-40 dimensions and may get stuck in the chamber. Am I on the right track with my figuring?
Any information in this regard would be appreciated so I don't blow up my '92 as well some serious injury to myself.
Regards Bob
