1873 in .357 magnum?
« on: October 04, 2006, 12:36:19 PM »
I am looking to purchase a Winchester 1873 clone (probably made by Uberti).  My question is can the bolt and chamber handle the powerful high pressure factory loads of .357 magnum cartridges these days? ???

I ain't no espert..but I'd wonder about the toggle action..I know the .357 is a high pressure load..perhaps someone will correct me.

One person I'd ask is Steve Young (www.stevesgunz.com), he's a Levergun 'smith and shoots CAS.
