Range fun with the 357 Henry......

Like always after I finish up some work around the place I leave some lead on a target or two.
I brought along my Henry 357 rifle and had a couple small wood scraps after the days work and decided to stick them on a target board.

From 35 yds. I took 3 shots and noticed no direct hit on the piece of 1x1x3 inch pine. I walk up and notice all three just at the bottom of the piece in a very tight group. I then bump the rear sight up one notch and bingo next shot took it out! I then shoot the swinging plates and the gong to wrap up the afternoon. That ghost ring sight is no joke!

Ammo was those sweet 180 gr. Pugs with 11.5 gr. of Alliant 2400. That Henry is a nice shooter and looks good too!

Nice shooting. I hope I can do as good with that ghost ring sight when I get a chance to shoot.

Nice shooting and report. I especially like the picture of the Henry being held with the target in the background.

Only thing prettier than that four shot with one sight adjustment group is the case hardening on that receiver. Gun porn at it’s best. :D
