I recently bought a Uberti Walker from another member of this forum, and had a short shooting session with it a few days ago. I have to say, after 20 years of BP shooting, that was indeed a memorable experience! The boom it makes is just priceless. I did not have the time that day to work up...

Been waiting for weeks to get out and shoot my Uberti 1861 Navy today. I was surprised to find that it did not like .375 RB. They were much too small for it and did not shave off a ring of lead. In fact, one was partially retracted as I pulled up the loading lever. I'll have to find some .380...
