Since the first of the year I've picked up two new Uberti's; A Frisco in 45 Colt and a Flat Top in 44-40 to which I fitted a .44 Special cylinder. Since acquiring both of these, I've shot lots of cast bullets through them and they've both proven to be quite accurate.
The Frisco's timing was a wee bit off with the bolt popping early, but a Wolff bolt/hammer spring cured that. I also honed the forcing cone to 11°. I've shot the snot out of this revolver with everything from loads that duplicate the original, to 285 gr. SWC's close to 1000 fps. It love's 'em all.

Then along came the Flat Top. I fitted the .44 Special "tight" leaving a small BC gap, honed the forcing cone and installed a Wolff spring. It has been such a joy to shoot and I'll probably use it this deer season.
Shot these first two this evening-
