Never owned a Uberti but own a Marlin .357 lever.......I don't think you'll be able to feed a wad-cutter in any lever action, I could be wrong though, just my experience [;)]0 -
A lot of cowboy shooters use them with 38 round nose. I always shot 38 semi wad cutters in my Marlin. Polished the feed ramp to feed them [^] 0 -

Agree, I shoot the semi's fine in my Marlin, for some reason I thought/assumed he was speaking of the full wad-cutters.......my bad. [;)]0 -
If you had only asked about a Marlin, maybe you'd have gotten answers about a Winchester! [;)] 0 -
Wad cutters won't feed in my Rossi M-92. 0 -

It's time for somebody to say that wadcutters feed ok in their K38.0 -
I think it's a rational conclusion that if wad cutters won't feed in virtually every other lever action rifle, they likely won't in the 1873 Uberti either. 0 -
Are we talking hollow base wad cutters seated backwards? 0 -
The 1873 does not have a cartridge stop. It depends on the OAL of the cartridge being the same as the length of the lifter. A short round like a wadcutter will let the next round out of the magazine start into the lifter, blocking its travel.
I guess a gunsmith could put in a stop like the one made for the .45 Cowboy Special, but it would be a big project. And you would still have the problem of getting the flat ended wadcutter to feed into the chamber.0 -
why can;t something just work out of the box???[}:)] 0
