I am going to my first Cowboy Action shoot on July 1. I had purchased a Uberti replica of the 1873 Winchester with a 24" barrel. I went to the range and shot My Colt AR-15 H Bar for about 80 or so rounds. It was getting hot so I wanted to check out how my rounds were impacting with the Uberti rifle. I loaded 5 in the magazine, loaded a round in the chamber and pulled the trigger. I hear something like phhhttt, no recoil at all and I thought the round had not gone off.This being a not so cheap rifle I was like what the hezzeee for about 15 seconds. I opened the chamber and lo and behold an empty case came out..lol. I now understand the why they call them mouse farts. It felt like I was dry firing the rifle...lol. These were Winchester factory Cowboy loads. My AR 15 had more recoil...lol.
