Henry Rifle Forums

Burned up a box of Remington 300 gr in my new H010B. This rifle is great fun, although a bit tough on the shoulder. Shot all offhand, and hit what I was aiming at. I put on a Skinner barrel mount peep, which needed o adjustment at about 50 yards. Took a couple of shots out to about 200 yards, and the bullet drop is very evident out there.
I would love to have shot it some more, but ammo prices and availability being what it is, I just shot 20 rounds.
A beautiful rifle that seems to perform as good as it looks.

Congrats by any chance do you live in Cheyenne.

No, I live in Buffalo.

Been there many times. I like it there alot just to cold in the winter.

I can understand the shoulder thing. I gave up the big bangers years ago. I found a 45-70 brass on the range awhile back and was reminded of just how big it is.

congrats indeed .... sounds like your Henry is a solid shooter

Congrats to your new .45-70 ! If you reload they can be mild fun plinkers. Even at 1100 FPS a 405 gr chunk of lead will move things around except your shoulder!

Glad to hear you enjoyed your 45/70, knew you would. They are fun, but can be hard on the tissue if shot a lot.
I would suggest reloading, but, what with ? Components are scarce, as you likely know.
