The Op's rifle is clearly a Remington model 25. A Remington model 14 chambered for 32 Remington would have a spiraled magazine tube with the loading port is on the bottom.

That upper was manufactured by Model 1 Sales. https://www.model1sales.com/ I’ve had one of their 22 uppers on an AR receiver since 2008 and it’s one of my most accurate 22 caliber rifles.

Any Remington factory loading will be safe in your Uberti 1885 reproduction. 45/70 ammo from Garret, Buffalo Bore, Underwood Ammo and other "boutique" manufacturers of 45/70 ammo may cause issue in your rifle. As far as the Uberti 1885 is concerned, I've fired nothing but smokeless handloads...

Yes. Believe it or not that’s the entrance wound. Running that 40 grainer as fast as I could get it going was extremely effective on coyotes but entrance wounds at 100 yards and closer could be bad. The wounds at 200 yards and beyond aren’t quite as bad but still impressive. I took this...

One more vote for H380 and 50-55 grain bullets. But like others I’ve used just about every suitable powder for the Swift. For many years I used a 40 grain Ballistic Tip on top of a max charge of H414 for amazing accuracy and performance. I’ve killed more coyotes with that load in the 220...

Here are a couple of pics of the “new” profile for Berry’s plated .458 diameter 350 grain bullet. New profile on the left, old profile on the right: I would imagine the change in shape came at the request of those shooters who have adopted the 458 SOCOM because (in my mind) the more tapered...

This was an issue for my Browning 1886 as well, but Berry's has changed the shape of their .458 350 grain bullet to a more tapered ogive as opposed to the old "Round Shouldered" profile. I'll post a pic of the two side by side (when I get off work) to show how they changed the profile. The...

I shoot a lot of Berry’s .458 diameter bullets out of a myriad of rifles chambered in 45/70 and they are capable of outstanding accuracy. I shot this group this afternoon with my Uberti Hi Wall: 5 rounds Berry’s .458 350 grain plated bullets at 100 yards off the bench. These were loaded with...

Here is a video comparing the New Python's blued finish to a vintage Pythons blued finish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9zFdAvM1Ng

As a rule of thumb, when I see the words "Pulled Down" when it's applied to rifle bullets, I (in my mind) replace those words with the single word "Defective" I rarely buy "Pulled Down" rifle bullets and I'm not sure why anyone would buy them with the idea that they were going to be able to get...

I “back ordered” some Starline 41 Long Colt brass back in May. I’m still waiting on it to ship.

I believe one of the bombs used by the terrorists in the Boston Marathon bombing used a quantity of black powder and a pressure cooker. It was exceedingly deadly/effective. To get a visual on the "power" associated with a large quantity of black powder (4 to 6 ounces) go to youtube and search...

I would just wipe your rifle down with any standard lubricant and call it good. My Winchester model 1892 has a “pronounced” area of wear where it’s been carried by a single hand under the receiver but it took 120 years to get this bad:

Any “decent” scope will do; that said, I have an SWFA Super Sniper on this one: Before the Super Sniper it wore a plain Jane late model Redfield Battlezone ($100 from Natchez Shooters Supply) I had laying around: My SOCOM wears a “blemished” Leupold 3X9X40 AR tactical picked up from Midway on...
