Rowdy,
Youtube says not proper address, or some such. Always enjoy yours, by the way.

Rowdy,
NEAT Rifle! Nice video!

This link works.

LONG RANGE......
Back in 1875, Winchester claimed their 1873 Winchester .44 W.C.F. was accurate and effective out to 500 - 600 yards.
One of my very favorite things to do is to take my 1873 Winchester made in 1882 and shoot it at 500 meters (547 yards).
It wears a tang sight and I found that in combination with the early Marbles front sight, I have just enough elevation to reach the steel ram silhouettes at 500M.

On a day with little wind, it is amazing to me how accurate this Winchester creation is at that distance. The statement they made is still very true today!

Thanks , I plan on using that rifle this year to bag a few Deer . I would love to put together a Vintage Hunting video . Maybe I can talk my son into filming the hunt ?

The ammo that was loaded by Ten X was loaded with Triple 7 . The ammo that I loaded for the other Video with the triple 7 was hotter . But Tenx loads for the cowboy shooters which is a milder round .Either choice the triple7 works .

Rowdy,

I am wondering about the actual rifle velocities of the Black Hills 44-40 and Ten-X 44-40 BPC ammunition.

Ten-X BPC (777) is cataloged at 1,200 f.p.s.
Black Hills is cataloged at 800 f.p.s. which would be the velocity in a handgun.

By comparison, original 44-40 b.p. and smokeless cataloged velocities were:
1,301 f.p.s Rifle (24")
920 f.p.s. Handgun (6")
975 f.p.s. Handgun ( 7 1/2")

The Black Hills was around 1100 fps I THINK It's been a while since I shot them over a chronograph . As for the Ten X I have no Idea . But I know the Triple 7 works good for a SUBSTITUTE . In the past I have shot APP and for Cowboy loads and for that it was OK . But the thing about APP I didn't care for was the velocity SPREAD .

Rowdy,
Thank you for the information. Recently I picked up some factory 44-40 cowboy ammunition to test for velocity and accuracy so that I could rank each one in order of best to least for folks that don't reload.
Hornady / Ultramax / Winchester / Magtech

This video shows the Ten X black powder sub , they use Triple 7 . When I'm out of Swiss I use the Triple 7 it works pretty good . It is Hotter than the APP or Goex Pinnacle .
