I had been messing around with loads for a Uberti 1873 45 colt 20" rifle. I hadn't been able to shoot it for about 18 months, but had a couple pet loads cooking. I had the chance to take the rifle out today. The load is HS-6 and I used a magnum primer. Three shot group was a clover leaf at 50 yards. Great load! On top of that I had a load for Unique, shot almost the same as the HS-6. Finally have some standard loads for this rifle so I can take it out to 100 yards and play around.
One thing I will say about Uberti, that rifle has never missed a tick. No issues, cycles smooth as can be. About 300 rounds through it playing around, no issues at all.

Re: Finally
Bonusmarple, would you share details of the recipe? If not on public forum, pm me. I'm interested in cast bullet loads. Thanks

Re: Finally
No problem on the load. These are badman 250 grain cast lead over 10.2gr of HS6 and 8.1 of unique. The HS6 uses magnum primers and the unique uses regular primers.
Try at your own risk.
