Haha...thanks! I feel an obligation to show it like it is. Good or bad it's all me!

Do you ever have trouble holding that rifle as the barrel heats up?

Cannot add much more to the "all of the above," RR. I think what comment most clearly describes your shooting skills is from CT when he said you are a "natural." I've thought that before when reading several of your range reports and seeing your excellent targets....just never voiced it. And that 1860 Henry is a beauty.

If that wind ever settles down, your bull should end up mincemeat! Good job and report.

So far no. But I can see how if you cranked off a dozen rounds rapid fire that barrel would go super nova. Might want welders gloves.

Thanks all! It was a fun day at the range!!

Nice shooting indeed. I know the .357 barrel can get pretty warm.

I'm impressed you with factory ammo . I have trouble with blade brass ft sight and ladder sight that is why I use brass or white dot ft sight and tang sights on my lever guns . Glad to see your not benching that gun and you are testing you and the gun with 10 + rds in a group and not showing us the lucky 5 rds out of 100 like the gun mags do .

P.S. remember NO hot loads in 1860 , 1866 or 1873 original or reproduction guns .

You bet. Toggle link. It's burned into memory. But thanks for the reminder!

Takes years to train those horses.
