This is but one reason I don't reload. But I'm sure you will be.
As said earlier I'm sure it's a very strong action but even so a Low Wall is no High Wall so I have no idea what strength it or either would have for that matter.

I'm sure 45 Colt will be fine with 250gr bullets. I would never load any hot ones. My range only goes out to 250 yds, so that will be challenge enough.

I am waiting on my Cimarron guy to get back to me. Usually about a month to get his orders once he places them to Cimarron in Texas. Hope they have one in stock. He says they carry a pretty good inventory. Should be a great rifle to shoot. Of course I'll need a nice buckskin cover for it...

No doubt, but on the bright side at least Taylors still will do it. If I really wanted it six months might require more patience but it certainly wouldn't stop me. Here's hoping he can find one sooner however.
Good Luck,
Dan

Have you by chance looked on internet sites such as gunbroker and budsgunshop yet?

The problem is the caliber. 45 Colt.
Lots of 45-70 around. Not what I want.

Kind of what I saw when I first checked and was looking for mine. Now it seems they have quite a few in that caliber on gunbroker now that I bought mine but these are Winchesters and not Ubertis.
