Re: Uberti 1866 and 1873
Thats because cowboy loads are what supposed to be shot in these kinds of rifles, they are cowboy rifles. Personally, I wouldn't get a levergun in 45 Colt, too much blowby. But, I'm a purist, so that's me. Load up to 800-900 fps, you'll kill anything on this continent if you put the bullet in the bo...

Re: Good ol' Ruger Blackhawks
Picked up this OM Blackhawk couple days ago, 45 convertible, possibly unfired. I'm sure the ACP cylinder is unfired, the Colt cylinder has the faintest of rings, possibly only factory firing? Throats are way undersize, will need reaming. http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j78/veeman2/guns/20160311_17...
