44-40 Ruger Vaquero Ammunition?
 

My father just recently gave me a 44-40 Ruger Vaquero single action revolver that he had won at a Gun Bash a few years back. My question is, what kind of load would be good for this caliber of gun? I will mostly just be using it to shoot at the firing range as well as a side-arm when deer hunting. My other question is, I am having a hard time in finding this certain 44-40 cal. shells, does Cabelas, Gander Mtn. carry these shells. Thank you very much.

Thanks
 

Thanks for ALL the help, you were very helpful......

Glad we could help you out RF. Do you reload? This would be a good one to reload for. Either way, I think you'll enjoy shooting that, I know I've always liked the .44-40.
