King, you might as well make it 2 more and be like Dusty with all 4 different calibers.

I still like the ideal of the 40/60 WCF.  When I bought the Chaparral 45/60 in 2014 it was a toss-up between the 2 calibers, with the 45 being easier to find a bullet mold and CDNN only having 26" barreled 40/60's left.  Had to have the 28" barrel on an 1876.  Well now, a few weeks ago I won an original Win 40/60 mold off of ebay in near perfect shape.  It molds a 212gr; 0.405 diameter bullet with the original 1 to 16 alloy.

It appears that this will be my start for looking for an 1876 in 40/60.  More fun and more reloading tools down the road.
       Don't blame it on me Lol .,,,,DT

Don't know how this comment got by me from so long ago but things happen.  No Dusty, I would not blame you one bit ;) ;D ::).  This darn affliction is all my doing and problem.  But it is enjoyable.  Now finding one in a price range I can swallow is the problem.  I would even take another Chapparal in decent shape.

Speaking of the Chaparral Model 1876 rifles , I do not see near as many on the market for sale lately . They have not been made for a few yrs  , maybe the few left out there are drying up ? Prices for any 1876 Winchester are almost always on the steep side . ,,,,,DT
