The .44-40 Winchester cartridge, also known as the .44 Winchester Center Fire (WCF) or simply .44 WCF, is a rifle and handgun cartridge developed by Winchester in 1873. It quickly gained popularity due to its use in the legendary Winchester Model 1873 lever-action rifle, which became known as the "Gun that Won the West".

The .44-40 cartridge fires a .427 caliber bullet with a typical weight of 200 to 225 grains at a muzzle velocity of around 1,200 to 1,300 feet per second. It was originally a black powder cartridge, but modern loads typically use smokeless powder.

The cartridge's name comes from its bullet diameter (.44) and powder charge (40 grains of black powder). It was initially designed for use in both rifles and revolvers, which made it a versatile choice for hunters, cowboys, and lawmen of the time. The .44-40 was also used extensively during the American Indian Wars and later by the U.S. military.

Today, the .44-40 cartridge remains popular among cowboy action shooters and hunters. It is often used in replica rifles and revolvers of the Old West era, as well as in modern lever-action rifles such as the Winchester Model 1892 and the Marlin 1894. It is also a popular choice for hunting medium-sized game such as deer and hogs.
