It works. But I am not a fan of Winchester White Box ammo. I find that if any of my guns are ammo picky, this is the stuff they don't like. I will use it once in awhile, but its never been my first choice.

For the .44 WCF; 44-40 you might want to slug your bore. This cartridge was designed in 1873 for black powder and cast bullets. The original groove diameter for this load was and is .427", many modern rifles for this round use the .429 groove diameter bore as for the .44spec./.44Rem Mag. If this turns out to be the case the modern or current Winchester load of .427 will be .002 loose in the bore and with the semi jacketed bullet will affect accuracy. It will also affect the sealing during bore travel. May sound nit picky but this has happened to me. Shot my first deer with .44 WCF in an early 92 Winchester saddle ring....Happy shooting!!!

Each rifle has its own preference for ammo. Your best bet is to shoot different brands and see which one your rifle shoots the best. Winchester power point has always been a great factory deer round. Many deer have fallen to my browning BAR .270 fed with 150gr power points....bang/flop

Your best bet is to give it a try. This is still factory produced new ammunition from a quality American manufacturer. "White Box" ammo is the standard at which others are based. It is a good starting point, and there are certainly far worse choices, and some better.

The best thing to do is test them for accuracy at the range first. Give them a test drive and see if your rifle will like them, if not try something else.

It will go bang when you pull the trigger, but don't expect any kind of elite levels of consistency, and you are going to need to clean your rifle a lot more often shooting that.

It works. But I am not a fan of Winchester White Box ammo. I find that if any of my guns are ammo picky, this is the stuff they don't like. I will use it once in awhile, but its never been my first choice.
