A '73 in the morning

Have shot very little the past year or so and finally got out with the new-to-me Uberti Model 1873, in .44 WCF of course. Loading the Montana Bullet Works 200-grain flat point in Starline brass over 17 grains of 5744 and then 25 grains of Re7, the rifle much preferred the Re7 propellant. Being rusty, I shot paper at 25 and 50 yards and then plinked the 200-yard berm offhand.
What a pleasant rifle and load to shoot.

That's a nice Uberti '73, Bill, in an uncommon configuration and it obviously shoots great; well done! Just recently I went to the Montana Bullet web site to reorder and discovered they have closed, dang.
