Several years ago my little girl was eat up with the Rifleman TV show. She wanted a 44-40. So, for Christmas she received a Winchester 1892 in 44-40. It's a great round. To really enjoy it, one needs to reload. I have reloaded for hers for about ten years. A Barnes XPB .429 diameter 225 grain hollow point and 17.5 grains of 2400 is a deadly and powerful round. Years later I got her a Uberti Cattleman in 44-40. A 205 grain lead round nose flat point over 6.5 grains of Red Dot is very accurate with plenty of punch. She is a very good shot with both. If you get it, plan on reloading!
