So even though the Miroku / Winchester model 1873 will be made of modern steel it is a relatively weak designed action ! Most folks I know that own Uberti model 1873's are using them for CAS events and mainly shoot mild loads through them ! I'm curious to know if it will handle a steady diet of full power .357 magnum loads !
