butlers rangers, I'm new to this site as it is now. Was a member when William Butts was involved, talked with him back in 2010, but things came about that distracted me from the site after having got a  1875 Rem. .44 cal wheel gun that not even Jim Supica could ID. I did join the Rem. coll. Soc.but my 1875 is just as complicated as my 98 rifle and what you brought up about the peep sight and other statements I should have remembered about the usage of the Krag up to WWI, thank you for the refresher course for my research goes on a lot for it's large and many are truly unique. I'm not really tech. savy and my kids and friends remind me of it all the time. I'll try to figure out pics but it's something I'll have to work on for I have NO clue how to do it!   Joe L.

Actually, Union Metallic made ammo marked as “44 Henry (Flat) into the early 1900’s.  The bullets were round shouldered with flat tips.  They were for both Henry and Winchester Model 1866.  The later boxes showed both the UMC and Remington name after the merger of the two.  I have seen what appear to be near center indentations on fired cases - but not alot.  Since the 44 Remington was such a rare caliber, I suppose it’s possible that, by 1900, someone might have tried the RF rounds on the off chance that they would work since the CF was out of production.  Maybe some did work which is why you’re left with some valuable “leftovers”.
