Re: Uberti Walker

One more thing. Walker specifically wanted a pistol big and heavy enough to be used as a club, an important thing when loading was more complicated. Colt designed the pistol with his express interests in mind.

Re: OT - Considering buying a .410 - your thoughts?

Buy a Super Comanche .410/.45 Colt pistol. About $135, full choke performance out to 25 yards, acceptable accuracy from Rem. non cowboy 250 gr. lead factory loads.

I was given one and think everyone should have one.

Re: Reloading: Mag primers, what can I use them for?

A few manuals ago folks used to specify mag primers with such powders as Unique. I loaded a ton of them and they worked well. I do find max loads should be back off from, however, especially with 2400 and 240 gr. LSWC's in .44 Mag.
