Lee Case Length Gauge & Shell Holder for .44-40 Winchester

Lee Case Length Gauge & Shell Holder .44-40 WCF

The Lee Case Length Gauge & Shell Holder .44-40 WCF is a calibre-specific combination designed for trimming .44-40 Winchester cartridge cases to a consistent length. The case length gauge determines the trimming length and is used with a suitable Lee case trimming system.

Consistent Case Length for Reloading

When reloading .44-40 WCF cartridges, consistent case length is important, particularly for achieving a uniform roll crimp. Although these cases generally require trimming less frequently than modern bottleneck rifle cases, checking and maintaining case length can help ensure consistent case preparation.

The Lee Case Length Gauge is used together with the Lee Cutter & Lock Stud. The fixed length of the gauge limits the cutting process, while the matching shell holder keeps the cartridge case positioned during trimming. This allows multiple cases to be trimmed to a consistent length without repeatedly adjusting the trimming setting.

Specifically Designed for .44-40 Winchester

This version is designed for .44-40 Winchester cartridge cases, also known as .44-40 WCF (Winchester Center Fire). This historic cartridge is used in both lever-action rifles and revolvers.

The steel case length gauge provides a fixed trimming length and is intended for use with suitable Lee case trimming systems, including the Lee Cutter & Lock Stud and Cutter with Ball Grip.
