Uberti 1873 lever gun strength RE-THINK...
YOUR brother is looking at this wrong, Bill. That rifle will take standard factory 44MAG loads from 1300-1400 and goose 'em up to 1800 strictly from the longer BBl on the gun. This alone produces about 70% more muzzle energy. There is no substitue for velocity not for barrel length to get it. Also , when you noted the word 'heavies' do not know if you can get 'em in the gun as the '73 takes a cartridge LOa of 1.590" MAX on everything else and I suspect that includes the 44MAG cartridge.
That rifle was proofed with to CIP specs and they tend to be a bit higher than our SAAMI specifications, but for dangsure I would NEVER push it past that.
