Uberti 1885 replica .45-70
I bought a Uberti replica 1885 .45-70 years ago. I have shot it with RCBS 405 gr round nose flat points going around 1400 fps at the local range (200 yard limit) a bit but I want to shoot it at longer distances. I don't recall seeing any of them shot at U-pick it Ranch so I was wondering if anyone has any experience with them. Are they regarded as being of sufficient quality to shoot well out to 800 to 1000 yards?

Re: Uberti 1885 replica .45-70
I've had mine out popping steel at 3-400 yds with no issues. The 24" gong got whacked pretty regularly.
This one is a .30-40 Krag. I have a custom Browning in .45-70 that I bought last winter that I'm still working with at 100 yds. but will start on longer ranges soon.
My last place I had 900 yds. from my rear deck to my back stop. I had a 7'x3' steel door that I could hit with my old Springfield Trapdoor and those are nowhere near as strong as your Uberti.
Have fun!

You have a beautiful rifle there, 2ndovc.
It's definitely a higher grade than mine with fine checkering on beautiful wood as well as double triggers. Thanks for the picture.
