Hi - I am new to the forum.  I do own a couple of Dan Wessons and have inherited a 44 Rhino 10 inch from IMG_1143.jpgImage Enlarger

my late father

I know he used to handload for it - I believe by using 30-40 Krag cases.  I also read that you can fire 445 and 44 magnum in it??  Would someone be able to clarify for me.

This particular gun I would like to know a value on as well as I may be interested in selling it in the future.

Thank you in advance for any assistance for my questions -- Tom

Here's an article for you to read:

https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.danwessonforum.com%2Fwp-content%2Farticles%2F1988_jan_article_rhino.pdf

Every few years someone runs across a Dan converted to .44 Rhino- they have ranged in price from $650-$1K over the past 10 years.  It all depends on whether someone wants to pay for a converted DW or not. 

Your DW should accept every .44 cal cartridge that is shorter in length than the chamber length.
