Winchester Ammo WSC4440WU Unprimed Cases44-40 Win Rifle Brass 50 Per Bag

The Winchester .44-40 Win unprimed rifle brass cases give handloaders a foundation built on Winchester's strict manufacturing standards. These 50-count bags of .44-40 brass are designed for reloaders who demand consistency—whether you're working up loads for a lever-action rifle, a revolver carbine, or competition shooting. Winchester's process includes annealing to ensure uniform case hardness, which supports reliable feeding, proper sizing, and consistent ignition downrange.

Like all Winchester unprimed brass, these cases arrive ready to be prepared for your reload sequence. You'll need to size, deburr, and chamber the cases before loading—standard practice that ensures your finished rounds feed and perform reliably. Because the cases are annealed during manufacturing, you may notice a slight discoloration near the neck; this is normal and does not affect performance. Occasionally cases may show minor imperfections in the rim or mouth from the forming or shipping process, but Winchester's quality control keeps these rare.

If you're a .44-40 enthusiast looking to build custom loads tailored to your rifle or your shooting needs, Winchester unprimed brass gives you the consistency and quality to get the most from your brass—multiple reloads down the line. Available in 50-case bags, it's a practical quantity for serious handloaders or those testing new load combinations.
