Thread: Advice about an 1892 Winchester

Hey guys,

I was fortunate enough to be gifted a Winchester 1892 chambered in .44 WCF. I’m pretty sure it’s a 20” saddle carbine and it was made in 1911 - looked that up on the internet.

Apparently it has been using black powder loads, and I was given a small bag of ammo with it- Kynoch head stamped. This old girl was in use previously and I’m keen to continue that. I don’t know much about these old lever guns, but apparently cast bullets are the way to go. I guess I’m reaching out to anyone that can advise me of how to load and run this vintage rifle. I load for bottleneck cartridges so should be able to transition to the 44-40 ok.
