Re: your best 45 colt loads

When I first logged into this board 10 yrs ago,I asked about the Uberti '73 pistol & rifle and was told by most users then to use nothing hotter than a factory load. Evan Uberti said that!. Guess you all know more than the manufacturer. I know I won't come here for RELIABLE INFO again.
