[QUOTE="Cold Smoke, post: 3550891, member: 44374"] I wouldn’t call myself an expert by any means. I picked up an Uberti ‘73 back before I turned into an old fart and have had a lot of fun with it. Mine is a .45 Colt. I noticed a bit of blow back when I first started shooting it and wrote it off as a quirk of the design. Most of the rounds have been typical cowboy loads. It will dump 13 into a half dollar at a hundred off a bag which is good enough for me. I have some friends up in Colorado who stuff everything including their jalapeños with black powder and that was eye opening. I was able to hit bowling pins hanging on piñon pines all the way out to 300 with their recipes. Gave me a whole new respect for my little lever stick. Given the prices for good originals, I’d suggest getting a spaghetti clone and give it heck. Them big slow chunks of lead will literally bounce a ‘yote off the ground and send armadillos off like pinwheels. Probably stay away from the Buffalo Bore and Hammerhead stuff as well. [/QUOTE]
