Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

I'm retired from teaching high school, with a bit of law enforcement, fire fighting and a few other things thrown in for fun. I'm a recreational shooter these days, taking a lot of fun from casting and reloading. I shoot mostly handgun calibers but do own a few rifles, including two Big Boys (357 and 45 Colt) and a side-gate 38-55 on the way.
I also hike, do a lot of touring on my BMW motorcycles and head up a large local paddling group.
I found the forum while trying to get some intel on the new side-gates.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.
