This 44-40 Winchester Cowboy Action load (4440B) captures the smooth recoil, heavy bullet feel, and old-school handling that made the cartridge famous in lever guns and revolvers. Magtech loads it with a 225 grain lead flat nose bullet. The LFN profile feeds reliably through tubular magazines. It also delivers the soft shooting characteristics Cowboy Action shooters expect from a traditional 44-40 load.
Magtech rates this ammunition at 755 fps with 285 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. Therefore, it stays extremely comfortable during long range sessions. The heavy bullet gives the load a steady push instead of a sharp snap. Meanwhile, the moderate velocity keeps muzzle blast low and follow-up shots fast. That balance matters when shooters run timed stages or spend hours shooting steel.
The 44-40 cartridge has a long history in American lever actions. However, modern Cowboy Action shooters still value it because it shoots smoothly and cycles beautifully in tuned rifles. This load leans into those strengths. The flat nose bullet helps maintain reliable feeding. Consequently, it performs well in reproduction rifles and classic wheel guns chambered for 44-40 Win.
Magtech also keeps the load practical for regular use. The brass cases feed cleanly and hold up well over repeated reload cycles. Moreover, the moderate pressure reduces wear on older firearm designs. That matters for shooters who actually run vintage platforms instead of leaving them in a safe.
Each box contains 50 rounds. Each case includes 10 boxes, totaling 500 rounds. That quantity gives Cowboy Action shooters enough ammunition for matches, practice, and reserve storage without constantly reordering.
This is traditional 44-40 ammunition built correctly. It keeps recoil manageable, preserves classic cartridge behavior, and gives shooters dependable performance in lever guns and revolvers alike.
