Thanks , it had exactly 25rds thru it when I bought it from the original owners grandson. It came with half a box of original ammo , listed on the original bill of sale.

It's a true .40 mag. Case lengths are the same as .357 , .41 or .44 Rem Mag. I use hard cast SWCs of .401 dia bullets , or 180gr JSPs for the .38/40 when I can find them.


Here's a good article on it. http://www.singleactions.com/files/4...agsUpdated.pdf
