Hi everyone,
I am looking at purchasing an Uberti made 1873 rifle in 357/38 special. I've done my best to research this rifle on a number of different websites and have come across three concerns/questions.
First would be if this rifle can withstand the use of .357 Magnum ammunition?(From what I've read some appear to say yes and some say no). This rifle would not be used in a harsh manner and wouldn't recieve any hot rod .357 Magnum ammo. Just standard factory loads.
Next would be if this rifle will feed .38 Special ammunition reliably. Does OAL of the bullet cartride make a difference? Bullet weight?
Is there a typical bullet weight/type that tends to perform best in this rifle?
Thank you for your time.
