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.......

50 yards, open sights, I'd be happy with any of those groups

Excellent work, Al, all the more so with iron sights. Fine shooting. Love those big holes in the paper.

Good looking targets and some big holes in 'em. How's the recoil on that rifle?

Thanks for the kind words. I think Im blessed to be able to still use iron sights. RR the recoil isnt bad at all if you stay with the plinking loads but when you get one of those full power torpedos in there It will definitely let you know about it. Al

agree ... out of the box, I'd rate the recoil from our Henry CCH 45-70 with HSM Cowboy Action Loads as being on par with the recoil from our Henry BBS 44 Mag with full power loads ... with full power loads, the 45-70's recoil is much more akin to that of a 12 ga pump firing a 3" slug or 00-buck

5744 definitely has a bark to it. I like the powder but the only reason I dont use it more often or try to work around it with something else is the cost. Its about 10.00 a lb more than any of the others. It does shoot good in my 38-55 though so I use it there. Al

I bought a can because it seems to be Mike Venturino's go to for lead bullets. Lotsa loads in the Lyman cast book. I've only loaded a couple of 45/70 loads with it and they are pretty hot.
