 I have a Colt New Service chambered in 44-40 that sits in the safe. Today the only reason I would use this caliber is nostalgia, anything it will do today the .45s and .44spl will do as well or better. The bottle neck case is much easier for me to accidentally crush while reloading and the bullet needs to be sized down or casted in a smaller diameter mold.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
