My 1873 Uberti Sporting Rifle in 45 Colt is one of the very first five imported to the US in 1986, purchased in 1987 from the first buyer. I've shot many a std 45 Colt load thru it. Still as tight...

I wrote a long explanation for my reasoning around the advice I give to order plenty... but it sounded like braggin'... which I loathe in others, so why succumb to doin' it myself. Simply put,...

For my new-to-me Miroku 1885 in .32-40 I had some 50 or cases gifted from a friend and slowly acquired some used cases over the internet. To build of a reserve supply over the typical 2-300 loaded...

They usually accept orders until their production window is filled, then stop accepting new orders... the trick is to check daily, and order more than an immediate need... you're competing for a slot...

Any dents or such in the magazine tube? Take the mag tube cap off, remove spring & follower. Run a patch thru the empty tube, inspect with a bore scope if you have one, but if there's an...

Lucky rifle to have found such a good home! Congrats Vall. :D

"Coated" is a rather inaccurate term. Coated with what? If you were to say, "molybdenum or powder coated", I'd say, "fine, except with black powder, but PC is ok with APP." Generally speaking,...

1. Since you got the cartridge out, carefully inspect and measure it to ensure it's within SAAMI specs. You need a dial caliper that measures to the .001", Northern Tool is a decent source. You...

I wouldn't use it because there's no cannelure to crimp into. Frankly, it doesn't seem at all pointier than many factory .30-30 rounds. Factory round on right:

Besides which, when loaded...

I have two 1885s, a 45 Colt Lo-Wall and a .32-40 Hi-Wall. Both are Miroku made guns. The 45 Colt is a Browning and the .32-40 is Winchester logo'd. The Lo-Wall came with the factory Browning tang...

Since I had my trimmer mounted to the bench, (have to take my powder stand down to do that), I decided that since I had less than 50 rounds of .30-30 in cast, I'd make up some. At least a box of...

Send broken one to RCBS after calling them to verify return... have a spare from now on. I sent back a balance beam scale several years ago I bought new in 1973... got a new upgraded model in a...

I had to start wearing glasses to see at distance around 58 or so... Now at 73, even with glasses I can't see the front sight as well as then. Group size has suffered as a result. But, I still have...

The issue about feeding SWCs or WCs thru the 1892 action has been known for many, many years. Remember, the cartridge is resting on the carrier at an angle to the bore axis. Similar to the way it...

Same load I use with either a 200 gr RFN or a 225 gr TC, in any of my Colt SAAs or 6 45 Colt rifles/carbines. I ain't ever shot at anything paper with a rifle... but steel out to 100 yards is fair...

Mine has graduations on the back of the mount and the part that slides up and down to count incremental changes and note exact settings for a particular load and distance. Interestingly, the windage...

Vall, I don't know if yours does, but mine has a set screw in the knob at the top of the venier screw, that you can loosen and adjust the knob to take up the lash. I haven't done that on mine, but...

The load is either 85 grains of Goex Cartridge, 1-½ Swiss or 27 grains of 5744 over WLR primers. All three push the 350 RCBS 40-350CSA to about 1590fps, lubed with SPG. I use a waxed card wad or a...

Since "serious" competitor precludes having fun, IMO, this is a relatively short range setup... or deer hunting, I'll go with this until proven incapable. The Sharps is for more serious work/play!
