After much searching, I finally found a decent reloading tool in .44-40. We won't use this one to load any ammo, but I thought it would be a nice accessory to have for our 1873.

We were having ...

Last year a good friend of mine gave my son a Winchester 1873 in .44-40. My son was thrilled, and my friend was happy to see him that excited to have it. In the fall of that year he killed his first deer with it. Some of you may remember my post and the picture at the previous leverguns forum. I'm s...
