Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
Finally
Finally
I finally got my new BBB 44 mag octagon carbine to the range. I had replaced the stock sights with a set of fiber-optic sights for easier aiming. After 5 rounds I had them adjusted, and I went to work on a set of gongs at about 30 yards offhand. I was able to bang even the small 3" gong with no issues. Cycling was flawless with Federal 240 JHP's. Once I was quite comfortable I moved back to 50 yards and was ringing the 8" gong offhand cycling at a pretty brisk pace. The way that lead just slams that heavy steel around was impressive. I am quite happy with how this rifle performs....now for some handloads!

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.......

Re: Finally
I am going to start with a 240 gr semi-wadcutter over 19grs IMR4227. I've got 100 virgin brass and 500 pieces of lead ready to go. Not going to make any fire breather loads.
