Question; Is the .40/60 BN a historical cartridge or just a .44/60 necked down, or both? Shoot sharp, Mike

Hey Lumpy, I don't think that is what they were talking about. The .40/60 Winchester, for their '76, is a straight taper case rather than a bottleneck. That's what makes me wonder...

Mike I think there is reference to that cartridge in Seller's book

Thanks Don, I'll look for it. Mike

It's the .40-50 sharps bn. The 60 was tapered. I don't think the .40-50 would be to good for silhouette.

Kurt, The .40/50 BN I understand, thanks for the come-back. Mike

I think I will resurrect the .28-30 Maynard.
I like the old cartridges. Might see if RMC can make some cases for this caliber.

Wasn't that the .28-30 Stevens? Harry Pope sure liked it. And there should be plenty of light 7 mm bullets to fit it. Oregon Barrels could make the tube. I'd say go for it.

The 25-20 stevens is a neat little cartridge.
