Why Choose Bertram .40-72 Winchester Brass?

Cartridge History
The .40-72 Winchester is a rimmed, bottleneck sporting cartridge associated with early Winchester Model 1895 rifles. Its long case and box-magazine rifle platform distinguish it from the .40-caliber cartridges used in tubular-magazine Winchesters and Sharps-pattern single shots.
Rifles Commonly Chambered
- Winchester Model 1895 rifles originally produced in this chambering
- Modern reproductions or custom rifles only when specifically marked for .40-72 Winchester
Compatibility warning: Winchester produced multiple cartridges with similar names and many rifles have been altered during their service lives. Verify the exact chamber marking or chamber dimensions before ordering components.
Legacy
Surviving Model 1895 rifles in .40-72 are primarily collector arms, and suitable new brass is a specialized component.
Did You Know?
The .40-72 Winchester is not the same cartridge as .40-70 Sharps Straight, .40-70 Sharps Bottleneck, or .40-82 Winchester.
