I just picked up a model 1873 in .357M/.38SP. (Modern era, brand new vintage.) Looking forward to doing some load tests.



So I've loaded 5 different charges beneath 125gr XTP's. 16.0, 16.5, 17.0, 17.5, and. 18.0 grains of H-110

Just as soon as this social distancing subsides, I'll try it out.

Good luck, will be waiting on the range report.
Good lookin rifle.

Now that's a cowboy's saddle gun if I ever saw one...Nice.

congrats .... nice looking rifle, sure hope she performs as good as she looks .... do hope you will be able to get her out and put her through her paces soon

That is a very nice looking rifle. Just remember not to hot rod a toggle link action.

Good looking rifle. I hope she shoots as good as she looks. 357 leverguns are fun for sure. Hope to see your range report soon.

Yep - glad to see Winchester is making a 'basic' version of the model '73.

I wish at a minimum however they would have maintained an octagon barrel with nose cap for originality.

Looks really good! Now a nice 6 shooter to follow unless you already have one.

I've never owned a wheel gun. I've shot plenty of them though.

What does that mean?
