Had some trouble with the feeding first (probably due to usererror) and it probably need some breakin and will get smoother after some rounds it got better and worked flawless last rounds. I shot around 60shots handloads offhand and got 2inch groups with 5shots 3-4 shots were about 1inch but always a flyer. Anyway pretty decent first time shooting the rifle with these buckhorn sights, I need some time getting use to it I actually need to learn how to aim with these kind of sights Im used to targetsights, might end up with a skinner sight but will give it some time and see how I like them.
Tried two handloads I use for targetpractice and they shot good as I see firing offhand, will try some more bullets when I dont need to shovel snow to get to the range.
These handloads was tried out offhand at 25meters.
1. Fiocchi SJP 240grain, loaded with 20grain of Vithavouri N110
2. Frontier CMJ 245grain, loaded with 20grain of Vithavouri N110
Anyway went home to clean the rifle again, and it took alot of work getting it clean alot of copperresiude guess the bore is a little rough or my .429 Frontier CMJ bullets gave me more residue. Anyway went to youtube and found a video how to adjust the windage on a henry, since I dont have a brasspunch I got innovated and used a ordinary punch and used a 9mm brasscase on it and it became a brasspunch
Took some time to check all screws and tighten them and most of the screws was a little loose, so I made som use of my gunsmith bits from wheeler to get perfect fit on the screws and retighten the screws without overtighten. One thing I wonder where to grease/oil the action/bolt, im one of those guys that use minium of oil, I only use a drop of oil with a needlepoint on spots where its needed. Oil binds grit and grit grinds or get gummed up and things go bad when its cold, a click near a moose or a bear could be a disaster strange things happens when you hunting and you end up nose to nose with a grumpy animal.
