Been awhile since I shot my Uberti Henry 1860. This is 45 Colt reloads, 200 gr LRNFP with 7.0 gn Universal. I real nice target load. Box of 50 rounds on 2 targets.
I am shooting mostly off hand now with all my guns, due to shooting my black powder muzzleloader that way. Today was off hand standing as well. I like it; it's old school like me. A little smoky today from fires burning in BC. No wind to speak of, and temperature today about 68F right now. Henry worked flawlessly as usual.

Shoot safe, and enjoy.

As usual very nice shooting RR. That should be a very pleasant load to shoot. I'll bet you can shoot them all day long.
Also sounds like you had some perfect weather to make the day that much more enjoyable.

Great shootin' RR and sounds like perfect weather to do it in! Those two flyers on the first target...were they the first shots?
My first shots are usually way out there some place and then I reel them back in.

Nice job Keith. Offhand is how I like it to. I don’t even put up paper anymore at the BP range I just shoot steel.

Very cool, makes me think I should drag out my 1860 and go to range and work on offhand shooting. God knows I can’t hit anything with my Ranch Hand or the Bond. Been practicing with both, but like my granddaddy used to say “you couldn’t hit a bull with a bag rice”

Was wondering if you forgot about that old faithful 1860. I should have known, better.
Truly awesome offhand work, RR.
