Project and history Production of Winchester Model 1886 rifles chambered in this cartridge ceased in 1910 due to lack of demand, and most commercial production of the cartridge itself ceased in the 1930s. New production loaded cartridges and unloaded brass cases are rare and are often created using reformed .45-70 brass. The cartridge was originally intended to outperform the similar .38-55 Winchester but in reality had very similar ballistics despite using more gunpowder.http://buffalobore.net/LeverGunsWinter2000.pdf Dave Scovill, "The Winchester Model 1886," p. 115 2013-02-10 https://web.archive.org/web/20120920060243/http://buffalobore.net/LeverGunsWinter2000.pdf 2012-09-20 dead Dimensions thumb|center|300px See also List of Winchester Center Fire cartridges List of rimmed cartridges List of cartridges by caliber List of rifle cartridges 9 mm caliber References External links Winchester Lever Guns & Their Black Powder Cartridges https://web.archive.org/web/20190822054303/https://gunsmagazine.com/rifles/winchester-lever-guns-their-black-powder-cartridges/ 2019-08-22 pH7_zZG6GRI Authentic Winchester Model 1886 in 38-56 at the Range - Great Guns Category:Pistol and rifle cartridges Category:Rimmed cartridges Category:Winchester Repeating Arms Company cartridges
