I think the known issues are taken care of. If you have any issues or know of another member who is having issues, PM daytime dave. As we head towards the holidays, hunt with your Henry.

Oh yes, Sir. They were laying right there, and not just for the pic.
And the lead sled also.After a few rounds of these, my old boney shoulders are done for.
Neither load was max. and I plan on bumping them up a few more grains to see of there are any gains to be made.
Thank God for good ear protection and lead sleds...

Well, I tried a couple more loads this morning.
Sittin on the picnic table, 55 yds.
Only three shots with the RL-7, had a faulty cci primer, I tried it twice, but was a no go.
This one from yesterday is the best with this bullet so far.

Sorry not a Henry today. Ruger 10/22. Last good weather day for a while. I'll do the Henry's when it warms up some.
So loaded up my 10/22 stepped out to the back porch.
Details:
Weather: Sunny, 50deg, no appreciable wind.
Range: 25yds
Rifle:Ruger 10/22 w/BX trigger, redneck cheek riser, bench rest.
Scope: 3-9x40 Barska from Wally world, set to 3X
Ammo: Winchester 40gr SuperX, hp, 1435fps
Mags: 2 ten rnd, 1 BX25
Shots fired: 45 total, no issues.
Sequence of fire: As noted on numbered targets. Zero tweaked on #1, #2, verified on #3, went a little crazy rapid fire on #4.
Not too bad for an old guy with questionable eyesight.

Yep, that 10/22 is doing a fine job. Sure would like to see that redneck cheek riser.

It ain't purty, but it works. Just some foam and Gorilla tape. Open image in new tab to enlarge.
