Since I've been spending too much of my time up in the oil fields in North Dakota, I haven't been able to shoot as much as I like.
I managed to get home a couple of days early while my youngest daughter, son-in-law and grandkids were visiting up here in Wyoming and did get the son-in-law out to play with a new Uberti Cattleman. The Cattleman is one of two that are replacing a less than decent performing Uberti Schofield that was purchased last year. So far I have only received the Nickle 7.5" 45 Colt. Still on the way is a blued 7.5" in 44-40.
The Cattleman revolvers seem to shoot Black Powder very well although you might want to wipe the front of the cylinder off with Moose Milk every couple of times just to keep from binding. I fired 50 rounds without pulling the pin and just wiping the front of the cylinder down with no problems.
Although not Black Powder (and I have no desire to try it), I also took my "New To Me" Smith & Wesson 1911 out for exercise.
The video has both "Gallery Loads" and 30gr-230gr LRN rounds being fired. Personally I'll stick to the Gallery Loads for plinking.
