I've never had feed problems in a 73 with .45 or .44-40 but since I went to .38's I've had feed problems intermittently with my Uberti 73.
My question is the 1866 chambered in .38 spl better than the 73? In my mind it seems like it would feed better.
I reload my .38's to 1.45 length and my 73 works except once in a while it has a little "hitch" seems like the round doesn't chamber smoothly. Never had that problem in my 66!
What say ya'll???
