The Uberti Win. 1876 Centennial (.50/95) sitting using cross-sticks was very fast shooting on steel sils. I used it in a team event, Sunday Challenge timed event at a cowboy action shoot. My team won by over 30 seconds. I got all 12 steel targets from 150 to 200 meters, one shot each. The rifle holds 11 + 1. The most fun-to-shoot lever gun I've ever had, was the Winchester m94 Trapper (16" bl) in .45 Colt. I used Ross Seyfried's .44 magnum-pressure loads on 2 elk with it. 300gr.HP's with 25gr. W296 in RP brass. He used Fed, but they were not as strong as the RP brass in the web. 300gr. @ 1,584fps. Same ballistics as the model 86 & 85 with .45/90 Blk. powder load.
