I was using armscor 40 gr. plain lead HV, and American Eagle 40 gr plain lead HV, both are round nose. Not great ammo, but reasonably accurate.

Got an e-mail yesterday, my pump gun is on it's way home. Their customer service has been top-drawer, I'll send full details when it arrives.

I had to send back a big boy one time. I had nothing but first class service from them as well. Al

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Now that my floors are done I can dig out my firearm stuff and head to the range. I still haven't shot my H003T.

My H003t is back from the factory. Problem solved! I'll be putting on a peep sight then off to the range.

It took a few days, but the rifle is back from Henry. Works very well now, still needs breaking in, but much better. Great customer service from Henry!
according to the paper work, they adjusted action and ran it through a full QC cycle and test fired. You can't get better service than that from a mass produced item.

My fourth Henry is no longer a dud. I added Skinner peep sights and took it to an NRA Smallbore Cowboy Sillouette match. I came in third with a rifle that I have fired less than 500 rounds through. Got another match next month and will be putting in 3-4 hours a week practice. I believe that this rifle has what it takes to win.
