I had no idea so many caliber existed until i joined this website. Always love these threads.
Lots of unique cartridges from the old West era, some were and still are quite popular with the Cowboy Shooters. Obvious one might want to get into reloading for that interest. CAS shooting has received a lot of odd (for modern standards) callibers from yesteryear with a decent selection of brass bullets and loading data.
Also it sort of seems the 38 -40 while a good round back in the day, was introduced a little too late to over take the 44-40 in a rifle/handgun combo and or 45 Colt in a handgun.
This 38-40 shipped 1/19/1901 to Wyeth Hardware in St Joseph MO with 1 other gun.
