Don't have a problem with either of my Uberti "Cattleman" revolvers and ammo choices.

The older one is marked 44 Magnum, but I only shoot 44 Special level loads in it. Did once fire one of my M629 hunting loads in it (200gr XTP/22grs of 2400) and damn near crippled myself, (crushed my middle finger on the rear of the trigger guard). One was enough. ;O)

The newer one is a Taylor's Smoke Wagon version, tuned action, in 38 WCF. Since I have a ton of WW factory ammo for it, that's all it will ever see, until I whup up some mild reloads someday.

They're WW 180gr SJ flat points and are fairly anemic, although I've killed deer with them in my old M92 Win. rifle. The owner's manual cautions against shooting anything other than factory fodder level ammo, in the Smoke Wagon.

I tend to take such advice, to the bank.


If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.
