A friend of mine bought a Uberti 73 45colt with a Very long barrel and we loaded up some Mid range ammo for it...this ammo was not hot by any means.
It jammed the action and he bent his lever trying to eject the case...no big deal cause after running a rod down the barrel to remove the case we just bent the lever back...
I was ver surprised at how soft the metal was.... One of the best looking rifles there is. After loading the shells back down to cowboy level the gun worked great and is very accurate... milk jugs at 100 yards as fast as you can lever rounds through it....
Lots of fun and unless you really have a need to shoot hot loads through her...don't trash her with heavy loads.. A 260 at 900 or 1000fps will kill deer all day long.
