Thanks for the heads up.

I handled one of these Uberti 66s previously and liked it. The one I am purchasing is sight unseen but the guy I am getting it from is monumentally trustworthy. Knows what he is talking about.

I spoke to another person who told me that the lube rings on the .429 are large enough for good lubrication. I am ready to declare that I will probly stick with the .429s in anticipation of few problems with it.

I use a similar bullet in .45 LC revolvers and model 92 and Henry Big Boy with no problems.
