I believe its extra fancy. Recoil isnt bad at all off shooting sticks standing up or sitting. But when you go to that loving prone position it can bite you after a while. By know means is it the worst one I have ever shot. But shooting at 800 and 1000 yards multiple times wears on one. I picked this gun up at Big Timber when I bought it. Ive only shot Black Powder in it never any smokeless. 87 grains of 1fg and a 530gr Creedmore bullet. I casted all my own bullets at that time. I dont anymore just to much work.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

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: Dedicated BP store!
I think 530 grain lead will get the job done.

Re: Dedicated BP store!
Went to a match in Alliance Neb. It was a 1000 yard long range match. 20 rounds at 36 inch square and a 36 inch round steel target. There was quite a few shooters there. Women and men both. The shoot was run in relays. One really depends on his spotter to its not just the shooter. I dont remember what the winning score was but I know my score was 17 hits out of 40. I dont remember what place I was in either.

There are some interesting historical stories about long shots from the Civil War and Buffalo hunting.
