Home Forums Lever Action Central Cowboy Levers How strong are modern made steel 1873 copies?

I realize this is an old thread, however, I woud like to comment that the new 1873's are chambered for the .357 magnum. So, While you should use common sense in reloading, as previously mentioned, having the rifles factory chambered in .357 suggests that the 1873's are stronger than what most people think.
