    Wild guess - assuming it is something fairly common - .45-60 WCF, M1876?
    I never believed there were SO many STUPID people in this country. Start working now to take the Senate in 2014.

    Ummm With that bullet weight the only cartridge I see in the WRA catalog is the .44 Evans New Model.

    Default 44 Evans NM

    Attachment 16171Attachment 1617244 Evans NM is the correct answer. The 44 Evans is next to a 30-40 with the 1900 date

    I've never even seen an Evans let alone be able to guess what the round was.
