Went to the fun show in Odessa today and picked up a pretty nice Winchester Model 1910. Came with an extra magazine. Made in 1912. Forearm stock very professionally repaired. The personable young man who sold it reported to me that he had been shooting it with factory .41 Remington Magnum cartridges with the case rims turned down to the same size as factory .401 and then a small extractor grove cut with a triangular file. The bullets were 210 grain semi-wadcutters. He reported excellent functioning with only an occasional mis-feed. Pix to follow. Really a nice looking gun for 100 years old.

Very nice! As time goes on, it is amazing how many of these rifles have seen hard use, yours seems to have had it a bit easier. I am now dabbling with some different brass, but the .41Mag idea sounds very reasonable and available. I will be interested in your range report.

Did the guy who sold you the rifle turn the rims and file the extractor groove on live .41 mag ammunition or on empties to be reloaded?

a 41 mag projectile is 410 dia. the 401 winchester projectiles are 406 dia. i might try a lead 41 mag. but i would be nervous with jacketed stuff.
