Tom asked me to post these for him, as he's had great luck with MBC RNFP (Coated/HyTek) 180 Gr .357s, pushed by 11.5 gr of 2400. Great looking set-up and even better results. I'll let him fill in the details...
Nice shootin', T!
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

Re: RifleTom Heads to the Desert!
Hey, that was fast! Thanks a ton Evan. Those 180 loads worked better than I could have imagined. Between those and the 158's, I have two really good loads for my Henry. Now to test the Leupold on the .45 Colt. Thanks again Evan. Fun times.

Re: RifleTom Heads to the Desert!
Ha! No, 50 yards. Lots of bullet drop at 100 yards. Had to hold over about 2 feet to try and hit some busted clays at the far berm.
The spotting scope a Meade "Wilderness" 15-45x65 I bought on clearance 3 years ago. It works well for my purposes. Thanks.
