The 38-40 WCF recently came back from a long period of obsolescence thanks to the the demand of Cowboy Action shooters. This cartridge by Black Hills delivers the performance you need to wield a revolver to victory in sport, but it’s not incapable of taking down a deerif you know how to handle a long gun as well.

This cartridge has been faithfully recreated to emulate its historic performance. It features a classic 180 grain lead round nose projectile that erupts from the muzzle at a velocity of 800. The bullet’s broad nose will either cut a neat hole through paper or connect fully with a steel target in order to knock it over. Still, lead is nice because it can deform -- you could very well use this round to keep raccoons out of your Japanese Zen garden just like the pioneers would have back in the old days.

This round’s modern propellant won’t enshroud you in smoke as you’re emptying out a cylinder, which is nice because being able to see is considered key to accurate shooting. Black Hills, a top tier manufacturer, gave this round the brass casing that a harder to find load needs to stay in play courtesy of a reloading press.

Q: Is this designed to be safe for use in vintage rifles from the black powder days? I have a Marlin 1887 made in the 1890s. Thanks.

A: Thanks for reaching out Paul! I referred your question to Black Hills Ammunition. Here is what they said:

Per company policy: if the firearm was made as a black powder gun we must advise not to use our smokeless powder ammunition in it. That said, the changeover was going on right about the time this gun was made so the best way to know if it is a smokeless gun is that the barrel may say nickel steel somewhere around where the manufacturers name and caliber would be. If it’s not there I wouldn’t fire our ammo in it.

Q: can I fire a 357mag round with a henery lever action rifel?

Posted On: 8/8/2020 By: Vincent pizzitolo jr

A: If your Henry is chambered for 357 Magnum, you can fire either 357 Magnum or 38 Special ammo in it. I'm afraid that thanks to the ammo drought we currently have neither in stock. The ammo on this page will not work in your Henry!

Q: You can shoot this ammo out of a 38 spl revolver and or 40 cal?

Posted On: 7/16/2020 By: Thomas Sanchez

A: No sir! This is 38-40 Winchester, a totally separate cartridge. Please don't order this ammo if you haven't got the lever-action rifle or revolver to fire it!
