Just wondering if there’s any feeding issues with these rifles being a pistol cartridge in a long action. Kinda looking at one but not sure what to do ? I know Winchester made the 44-40 in a couple different Centennial rifles and some normal models but there not all that common. Just don’t want to regret buying it if it’s going to give me problems.

Any thoughts on them would be great Ty !

They are common done here in the standard top eject version from the ’70’s. They are still in use today and have a good reputation.

Thanks Chris. I thought that but I’m not a 94 person so wanted another opinion

That would be a nice find. I have a couple in .45 Colt. I have never had issues.
