I have had this pistol loaded in the house for a little over 3 years.
Yes it is the Uberti Cattleman. I use 28 grains of Goex fffg, a .457 ball, and CCI number 11 caps.
The ejection mechanism has been removed, don't need it with cap and ball, and the gun handles better without it.
I live in the humid North Carolina mountains in a little log cabin. I only have a window unit a/c, and don't use it much. It is humid inside my house 6 months of the year.
I keep the pistol in this drawer.
I took the pistol out and fired it today. As no surprise to me, it fired fine, all five cylinders. It had normal power, and blasted right through 2 inches of pine.
I have a Pietta 1860 Army that I have left loaded for 2 years, and it also fired fine.
No corrosion in the cylinders of either gun.
I use no wax or grease on top of the ball, nothing on the cap either.
I don't see how moisture can get past the cap, or the ball, unless you dunk the pistol in a bucket of water.
