Have had a couple of Uberti percussion revolvers, but finally obtained a cartridge revolver. Here is my new addition, it's even in a newfangled rifle cartridge, 38-40. Hope to get it and the 10mm's out this afternoon or tomorrow.  |

Started out with some 180 gr RNFP I had on hand over some Unique. Have several molds I have collected for the 401, some original designs for the 38-40 and other early straight wall 40 caliber revolver rounds. Hope to get a lot of casting done this winter.

I've never loaded a bullet with a crimping groove in my 38-40s. Usually prefer 200 grn bullets too. The 180s are a close second choice.
I'm anxious to see how your gun does. I've considered one of these several times, but never carried through.

I'm talking about the gun you posted on this thread.
But, yes, the 401 PowerMag too...

Fit and finish is excellent, throats check out at .401, chambers seem a little on the snug side, so should be good for brass longevity. She shoots to the left, but this was with the only load I had on hand. It has the retractable firing pin, some seem to detest, hopefully it holds up, but will probably get the standard fixed design just in case it binds up or breaks down. My original intent getting this is for a 41 long colt experiment. Was hunting for a Bisley in 38-40, but the dealers only had stock photos and refused to open boxes to take a picture for me. There seems to be different trigger positions and I am looking for one with the more rearward trigger same as the Colt version.

I've got a Uberti (Cimarron) Bad Boy 10mm that I fitted a 38-40 Cylinder to. Chambers are tight and Lee Dies size brass perfectly to it. Brass life has been indefinite.
I've considered a Peacemaker Clone in 38-40 and 44-40. Would probably go to Dave for drift adjustable front sights.
Waiting on your range report...
