This 44-40 Winchester load (44401N) gives Cowboy Action shooters a smooth, period-correct cartridge with modern loading consistency. HSM loads it with a 200 grain round nose flat point bullet. That bullet shape matters in this caliber. The round nose helps feeding. The flat point suits tubular magazines and steel-target work. As a result, this load fits lever-action rifles and revolvers chambered for 44-40 Win.
HSM rates this load at 853 fps and 323 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Therefore, it keeps recoil soft and controllable. The 200 grain bullet still gives the cartridge a satisfying push. Meanwhile, the moderate velocity keeps the load pleasant through long practice sessions. That balance is exactly what Cowboy Action ammunition should deliver.
The RNFP bullet supports reliable function in classic firearm designs. It also gives clean impact behavior on steel and paper. Moreover, this load avoids the harsh snap of heavier field loads. Shooters can stay in rhythm, run stages smoothly, and keep sights moving naturally from target to target.
HSM built this ammunition for target shooting and Cowboy Action use. It does not try to turn the 44-40 into a high-pressure hunting round. Instead, it respects the cartridge’s roots. It gives shooters a consistent, manageable load for vintage-style guns and modern reproductions.
Each box contains 50 rounds. Each case includes 10 boxes, totaling 500 rounds. Consequently, this case supports match practice, weekend range work, and steady revolver or lever-gun training. HSM loads it in brass cases with Boxer primers, so reloaders can recover useful brass after firing.
This is a clean, practical 44-40 Win target load. It has the right bullet shape, the right velocity window, and enough case quantity to keep classic guns fed without overworking the shooter.
