With an oal of 2,260“ it repeats perfectly.Brass should be trimmed to 1,840“ for this bullet.

Re: Marble sight for Uberti 1876

That Kelly is a super sight and it looks great on your rifle. Now you need to swap out the front sight for a Lyman 17A globe sight and you'll be good out to 500 yards and have a top notch NRA Lever Action Silhouette rifle to boot. :D I live in europe,no Silhoutte shooting!😂 I only shoot on paper an...

Re: Uberti 1873 44-40 bp at 100m

Is your shooting range enclosed? I see one side is concrete. Those are consistent loads, is one of your numbers SD and the other extreme spread? Iess,the range in enclosed,the shooting line is approx. 150 feet wide. The ES for the first target is 25 and for the second 12.In each 10 shot group i had...

So, you don't clean at all but do you use a blow tube between shots?
The blow tube i use only when there is too much smoke comming out of the chamber.

Re: Marble sight for Uberti 1876

I had a bit of a time getting a correct Marble's sight for my Taylor's 1876 a few years ago. I had no trouble getting a Winchester sight, but I couldn't find one with a tall enough staff. I wound up buying an extra tall staff and installing it on the sight myself. Now days Marble's has sights you c...
