Each gun is different for sure....my Uberti copy of a 66 Yellowboy that I use heavily in SASS matches feeds the TC incredibly well. Even better than the RN. Accuracy is a toss up in the rifle. I like the reliability of the lever gun with TC's....your experience could well be just the opposite. My Marlin for example did NOT like TC's at all....seems like my Marlin doesn't like much of anything come to think of it..
