Thread: Uberti 38-55 1885 High Wall Sporter - first impressions, photo heavy

To all friends of @Jhon,
Please keep an eye on him for me. A new rifle for a black powder capable cartridge was a warning sign as was starting bullet casting once the kit arrives. A move into loading with black powder may be next. If this progresses to talk of breech seating projectiles get him into rehab quick. If false muzzle enters his vocabulary and he starts shooting standing at 40 rods (200 metres) all hope is likely lost. But fear not he will be happy living in the last quarter of the 19th century, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Pope and others on the Creedmoor Range in New York.
Regards Grandpamac. @akaroa1. You may be halfway there on this.

@grandpamac don't worry I won't be getting into the gentleman target shooting caper
I'm strictly a hunting rifle guy
Don't collect the target models
You won't see me in a waist coat and tie shooting a schutzen rifle match
