The wife and I finally got to take a couple of days and get out on the bike for a putt. Our destination was Billings MT mainly because it's close, oh and there are numerous pawn shops and a Cabela's but we'd probably have gone anyway if there was only the pawn shops. But I digress...
My ASM Walker and I have not gotten along well recently so I took her with me to possibly trade if the opportunity arose, and it did. Traded straight for what I believe is an 1860 Police model in .36 caliber. The problem is I'm not finding much information on this particular Uberti. It has the same sleek lines of an 1860 with a fluted 5 shot cylinder, compared to a Dragoon or a Walker it's just cute. Did Uberti make an 1860 Police or am I assuming something incorrectly.
I've yet to shoot her but I'll get around to that in a week or so when I get time. My question I guess is this; powder charge??? I'm assuming a 15 or 16 grain load of 3f is fine, but those of you who have .36's will know better than I.
I'll post pics of the new addition eventually when I'm home during daylight hours.
By the way, Cabela's Gun Library had a 2nd Gen NIB Baby Dragoon that they wanted $599 for. My wife knows when to encourage me and when not to because I obviously didn't come home with that one. I'm still thinkin' about it though.
