finally after almost a year i got to run my new uberti 1860! put 82 rounds through it at Friendship in a 3+ hour boom fest! only 2 of us shooting today, had the entire Cline range to ourselves
Gun ran fine, some cap jamming issues, especially if i didnt do the colt twist. 2 FTF dud caps but it ran pretty good better than i expected actually, i was mainly shooting to start to get familiar with it, shot high which i expected, probably not helped by the fact that i was using Old pyrodex RS (i know its not pistol powder) but im using up the bottle and i could punch paper with it
Nice to get out and make smoke, been a rough year since i got the darn thing, worth the wait, planning the next trek out there.
Thought id share, if i wasnt hooked before i darn sure am now
Thanks
