Hello Folks, I just picked up a Uberti Cattleman or Regulator. Can't really tell as there are so many stickers on the box covering the model. I think they are pretty much the same gun. Right? Anyway also picked up some .45LC cases, LaserCast 200g bullets and a jug of Titegroup. (Guy at Cabelas suggested Clays but they were out, Titegroup was his second choice.) Currently I own many 1911's, a Glock, and some Smith & Wesson and Dan Wesson revolvers. I bought this gun for target shooting and to experiment with Cowboy guns.
Here are my questions.
1. Any general information a first timer should know?
2. Should I make up some snap caps with casings and hot glue and dry fire to get everything broken in a bit?
3. In doing searches it appears the mainspring on Ubertis tends to break fairly quickly. Should I buy some Wolff replacements now? Are they something I can install myself with little or no smithing experience? Where would be the best place to get them inexpensivly.
4. Any pet loads you are willing to share. I also have Unique, PowerPistol, 800x, and now Titegroup powders. What about Trailboss?
5. Anything else you want to tell me.
This is quite a laundry list so I thank you in advance for helping me out.
