    Need 45LC Ammo for Lever Action Uberti

    Anyone know of a source that has 45LC in stock?
    900fps or less?
    I have a new Uberti on the way and can't find diddly for ammo.

    Also, lead-free for pig hunts in that caliber?

    Many thanks

    Not sure about the lead-free but Steve at Load-x in santa rosa has some very nice cowboy loads. I buy all of my 38-40 from him. Google loadx ammo, he has his catalog online.

      Thanks, that's a good tip, I looked at his catalog. He does sell the lead-free ammo AKA RHFP or Reduced Hazard Flat Point.

      Looks like the RHFP is only available 155gr @ 960 fps velocity. That's as hot as I think I'm supposed to go in this Uberti.

      Anybody know if that's going to be adequate to knock down a medium sized pig at 75 yards or so?
      I'd be sailing it out of a 45LC lever action with 18 1/2" barrel.

          LoadX is closed this week acording to their answering machine, but they do show the RH lead free in 45LC.
          What do you think, 155gr an adequate bullet for pig?

            Also try http://www.tenxammo.com
            Good ammo (but .45 Colt isn't cheap-~$38) and they will reload your brass for you, saving you a bunch. (~$21)
