I took my brand new Uberti 1860 army .44 for the first shooting today. On the second loading I had two balls back out with the ramrod. Seems the ramrod dug into the balls and held on better than the sides of the cylinder. I tried two more balls but they did the same thing. I went ahead and shot the six with two cylinders going off as blanks. The next go around everything seated just fine. It was time to go so I did not get to try a fourth go round.
Never had this happen with hundreds of rounds through my 1858 Remy.
I loaded 30 gr Goex fffg, Gatofeo wad, .454 round ball. Shaved a nice ring every time. Nice 65 degree F day.
I spent several hours getting the gun ready, removing all of the factory lubricant, cleaning the bore and what not per all the great advise I received from this forum.
Anybody else see anything similar?
