…trip. There is a small museum at the Little Bighorn battle site but walking the field is crucial to understanding the events of those days in July, 1876. There are a few shell casings in the museum but I don't remember enough about them. I only recall rifle/carbine casings for the Springfields and

Here's the thing Winchester wasn't making the Milbank primers by 1876. Not to say that some didn't get used in the battle. I can call Dave. I'll see what he has to say. He wasn't in Greeley but will be at Cody.…
…notes that all center-fire cartridges were using the "new and improved primer" patented by Winchester July 14th, 1874. This should easily rule out 1876 by a long shot.
Maybe Mr. Dave can help!

…not unheard of. I have a mint, unopened Winchester box in .40-60 WCF. We all know the .40-60 cartridge was designed for the Winchester model 1876, but my box label reads "Adapted to the Winchester Model of '86 and Single shot Rifles". No where on the box does it mention Model 1876.

…Model 1893 was/is a slide-action 12-guage shotgun. Winchester manufactured two different rifle models in the 40-60 WCF cartridge... the Model 1876 and the Single Shot (a.k.a. Model 1885). The reloading technique is different depending on which model rifle you actually have.

…HW SS; 45-60 WCF-30 in full oct-Shipped in 1886.}Mid-range Winchester Vernier sight.
Note-the 45-60 WCF was also a chambering in the 1876 Model.
Bert has this 1885 SN in his 1885 SS survey, as the 45-60 WCF was a relatively rarer chambering in this SS Model.
…found with a "Sporting Leaf" rear sight that resembles a Carbine ladder sight but are longer in length.

And they are sometimes marked “1876” as they were manufactured originally for the Model 1876 rifle.

The few Milbank primer cases that we're found at the site of the Custer Massacre in 1876, with possible failure regarding cartridge use, I thought we're due to the tapered design, in the Milbank primer cartridges.

For the Model 1873 less than 150 of the 1of1000s were made and less than 10 of the 1of100s. And even fewer Model 1876s were made of each.

Mike,
I have some Jamison brass in .40-60 WCF, and .45-75 WCF for my Model 1876 rifles. It's very tough, and is headstamped correctly. I would buy more if I could find it. Please let me know if you stumble across any .45
