Thanks for asking, It is unknown, this is proof ammo not to be fired in your weapon. For collectors or to be sold as components.

Proof loads? Good for tearing down and reloading.
Strangely enough .44-40 is one caliber I’ve never really fooled with.
Good luck with your sale.

On your website it mentions "pulled brass and bullets." What type bullet would be sold with the 308 cases?

Also for 300 Blk?

Hello guys, I had to make myself look like a fool in order to reply here...LOL!

I wanted to let ya'll know that I have tested a batch of these from 1963. The batch I see for sale, code 83KC61 on the case box, should date to 16 March 1975.
I tested ten of my batch in an MGM 20" barrel using RSI's Pressuretrace II software and hardware.

1963

Test #87- Winchester 1963 stamp code Factory High Pressure Proof Loads, 16.3gr of flattened ball powder

Not vary impressive at all for a proof set, but the set is old. However, post 1979 hunting loads are not impressive either.

For a full lists of my tests of the 44-40 cartridge, check here:


Back in the day Winchester loaded their normal loads to max pressures or very close to max pressures. This was done till 1958 when Winchester switched to a flattened ball pistol powder. From there it sunk even further by 1979 when Winchester switched to a disc/flake powder.

Current SAAMI Proof Pressure data on page 356

Proof Pressures should be between 17,500cup and 18,500cup with a 3,400cup E.V.
