I shall point out that the Henry and 1866 reproductions made by Uberti are not intended for use with anything beyond the specs of 45lc ammo. And they even recommend using "CAS" type loads...
Howdy.
Your rigth, i have spoken to a friend of me, how speak italian, he sayed the Henry 60, 66 and Win 73, is exact copy of the original's, only one thing is better then original's, the brass and steel
, but the finish of the guns and rifles...some are very good
, and some is not so good
The ammo to use, is based on original loads with BP, and the tests of smokless powder is based on very small loads. I am a BP man, so i dont have to be nervous
.
About the toggle link system, is not that weak, but we shud not play with other loading data....after all they are exact copy's
One thing i have tryed out in my Henry, is ....if i use regular BP...FF or FFF, it it will give more dirt innside the barrel, so i have tryed out more fine powder....call it ...FFFFFF,( i have to make it more like BP dust) the barrel is very clean...even after 20 shoots
hee.........how they get 200+ grains in this shells....bet's me too
, even in that time the shells was thinner, and they had rimfire.....mabye that can give more space...i dont now
