If you can , look in something like the 1916 winchester catalog, read their descriptions of the three wcf cartridges, then look in the back and look at their ballistics tables... Then someday get a 44-40 and put them to side by side comparison...
Anything a 38-40 will do a 44-40 will do just a little better at a bit further distance.
If you can get 1500 out of your 38-40, you can get the same or a bit more from the 44-40.. Actual hands on experience is a good teacher, you might try it sometime.
