shooting the 45-70

[Greyhawk]

Love my Henry 45-70. I went to the firing range yesterday and was assigned a firing lane next to the wall. Shooting my 45-70 350 gr bullet with 53 Grains of H 4895 powder. After the first five shots I noticed black stuff all over the floor of the range. Much to my surprise my 45-70 muzzle blast was tearing the sound insulation off the wall. I managed to tear down about 5 feet of insulation.
LOVE MY 45-70.

I shoot almost the exact same load... I have to agree with you... I love my Henry 45-70 too!!! (My Marlin 45-70 is a close second)

I don't have a Henry 45-70 yet but have a 1895 Guide gun that was factory ported . I have loaded the Hornady 325 FTX 325 gr you have to trim your cases from factory length . I shot a nice Red Stag with my reload at 125 yards . Once I figure out how to post Pictures I will ADD IT IN . I average 1 1/4 groups with mine at 200 yards. I have a 2.5 x 7 Leupold pistol scope mounted to mine . Old eyes cant see buck horns any more .
