    Love my Uberti Walker. 50 gr of 3F behind a cast Lee 200 gr RN, is some fun shooting. It has become my Tractor/4wheeler/Truck gun. I’ve actually rolled coyotes at nearly 100 yds with it.

    I’ve heard that as well, yet until shooting the Maxi I have never had that problem before. I’ve always shot light loads out of it as well. No more than 20 grains of 3F with a patched ball. I’ve...

    You mentioned it loads easy, time after time with no swabbing. That is how it should be. Anything other than that and your load is too tight. Ric is 100% correct, practice, practice, practice. I can...

    All of my PRBs are started with my thumb, and go down the tube with no effort at all. My 32 and 36 cal rifles all shoot 3 under a dime and 20 under a quarter without being swabbed. My 50 cal at 50...

    There is no historical evidence of using a short starter on a patched round ball. The short starter was introduced with the advent of bore sized conical projectiles in the mid 1800’s. I have 4...

    My 50 cal just absolutely obliterates the patch. When I shoot it the ground looks like I’ve been shooting a confetti gun about 15-20 yards in front of me. I don’t know why it does it, but it it...

    I will say this, you have never been wrong on anything you have ever told me so, I will indeed find someone nearby that has a rifle with a swamped barrel, and give it a try.

    I just don’t see how it can, as I said we are talking ounces and only a couple at most. Because I was a light fighter for most of my years in service, I get ounces add up to pounds, and pounds add...
