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.

I bet you'll hear the smack when the .38/55 hits it.
I actually didn't :o :lol: , but I am a bit deaf. ;) :lol:
Friday afternoon I had run out of the 255 gr pills I was using and decided to try some 243gr that I load over 10.0 grs of Unique.
I hit it 3 times and never heard a sound. Didn't even know I hit it til looking thought the spotting scope.
Rode over there yesterday morning on the 4-wheeler to look and discovered that I had hit it again with the 357.
But, the interesting thing is, is that the 243's were tumbling :o :shock:
Now, I've shot these and this load at paper between 50 to 75 yds. and never noticed that.
Oh, well a hits a hit right? :D
Yesterday I did load some different 245's that I recently picked up over the same 10,0 grs of Unique to try,
probably here in a little while.

I'll bet, but neither of my 45's are silenced or any of my others. :o :roll: :lol:
But, I do have some of those big ole 325's. ;)

Randy get a cheap set of walkie talkies and tape down the transmit button or maybe now they have one you can lock on like a baby monitor. Put one by the gong and one by you and that might give you some noise
