Yup. I have already stoned mine.

Sorry to hear that, but on the other hand I am glad that it is not just me. That is exactly where I am getting the issue. Did you just adjust your technique or have you smoothed out that corner? I...

Yup. But I still think that, not matter your personal technique, you should not draw blood when you cycle the action. I will be filing/stoning that corner off.

It would except that is me in the video! Just kidding. I wish! Anyway, he is cheating. That's an 1873, not an 1892 so no blood drawn! :)

Thanks to everyone for the replies. Very helpful. For clarification, I am getting cut right a the very base of my thumb. I am guessing that, never owning a 92 before, perhaps I have developed some...

Yup. I think that is the way I need to go.
Thanks

Thanks,

Has anyone noticed if any part of their lever hand even comes into contact with the locking lug or if the lug is sharp? Maybe I need to just change the way I cycle the action but old...

30-30. In a Winchester 94.

John Browning must have had a callus at the base of his right thumb?

Just kidding (maybe). I am wondering if anyone out there gets that joke? I just purchased a new, Miroku made, Winchester 92...

Thanks for the link. As Murphy's law would have it, I only yesterday started having some issues with my right eye (I am right handed). Just got back from some laser surgery. Will probably hold off...

Thanks for the link Rapier but, when I visited the site, all options were out of stock. :-(

Thanks for the input. So far this is sounding like a road I probably don't want to go down :grin:

I already own an 1876 is 50-95. Let's just say I rarely shoot it!

Thanks. I have also noticed that Barnes makes a jacketed bullet. Problem is every thing is listed as 'sold out'. I have heard that it is a bit of a pain to make the brass from 30-30 as you can't...

I currently own two Winchester 94s and am a big fan. Was thinking about picking up a third one I found, but it is chambered for the 38-55. I have no concerns regarding the efficacy of this...

Thanks so much for this info.

You have convinced me that I need to take some 3f loads to the range next trip in addition to Blackhorn 209, Trail Boss, and some 5744. I am starting to believe...

I can't imagine wanting a chamber any tighter that a Freedom Arms revolver.

I have both a 336 in 35 Remington and a Guide Gun in 45-70. I concur with what others have said here. You can load them down to mild levels or way up there to world class power (and recoil). In...

Soon to start reloading 50-95 for my Uberti 1876. Thinking of a starting load of 40 grains (by weight) of Blackhorn 209 behind a 350 grain cast bullet. Also considering Trail Boss. Anyone out...

There is an article by Brian Pearce in the July 2016 issue of Rifle magazine on the Uberti 1876. In this article he states the following:

"Cast bullets used in handloads and factory ammunition...

This is great info. Thanks. I have been looking for an LBT bullet with a large meplat in 350 grains. I will order some of these soon. Like you, I am not sure which diameter is going to work best. I...

That is an LBT sized to .512. I may decide not to use that one as it is around 440 grains which may be a bit on the heavy side for this rifle. I will start with the 350s and see how it goes from...

Just to illustrate my results so far. From Left to right: Jaminson Factory Loaded, One of my reloads using Jaminson brass, a reload using modified 50-90 brass, and on the far right is a...

Unfortunately I have already resized all of my 50 Alaskan cases but I do still have some new 50-90 from Starline and some new 50-95 so here goes:

New Jaminson 50-95:

Base diameter = .553
Rim...

Ok...Took a file to the base of the rim. Enough so that the head stamp is no longer readable. Primer can still be seated properly and it now cycles normally with no extra pressure at the lever...

Just wanted to share. Pic Title is wrong of course. This is an Uberti 1876!
