My Henry 1860 is getting a workout this week. Sent another 50 rounds downrange today. 200 gr LRNFP, 6.6 gn Universal. A nice easy load to shoot. Great for 50 yard work, which is all of these targets today. Shooting from 1 knee as usual except the last 2 rounds shot off hand standing. Open sights. 75F, and a little breezy. Guess I shoot my one and only rifle so much that I am starting to adjust for the breeze without thinking as much about it as I used to. Like I have said before, I shoot best when I just shoot.

8" targets all.

24 rounds. 1 round in each card, and the rest on the target. The cards were 1 each side of the target, and 2 below it when I tacked them to the board. Shooting low, but correct it on next targets.

prior to rolling your own, you fired a large number of rounds of factory ammo .... in thinking back, I'd appreciate hearing your comments as to differences in performance

That's great that your Henry is getting a solid workout, RR. That means more cool photos for all of us to admire with our oohs and aahs! The 50-yard holes appearing in those playing cards sure is a nice "cut" of the deck.

Keep on "just shooting" --- it "suits" you fine!

You are getting way to much shooting time. Dont you have any work to do.

[RanchRoper]

I stained the deck this morning if that counts...

[RanchRoper]

I think my own reloads shoot more consistent. I have not shot a box of Winchester ammo for quite awhile I should open up my other cabinet and try a box. That was my go-to ammo early on.

[BigAl52]

Should we expect that box to be shot tomorrow

[RanchRoper]

It's possible.

[BigAl52]

Ok will look for it. In the meantime Im off to youtube to watch the hulkster body slam McMann again

[RanchRoper]

Might have to clean my Henry tomorrow instead. Going for a ride in the morning too.
