Getting ready for the season

[Vaquero]

Well deer season is right around the corner here.
Had the day off yesterday and thought I would check a couple rifles.
The 44 BBB isn't scoped, and I know it can do better with this load. But not to bad.
Now the 41 BBS is scoped, I was shooting at the cross at the bottom.
All shots were high but what a group, so I made a little adjustment and got on the cross. I did raise it two clicks cause it was a little low.

But they should be ready for the weekend.

good luck ... hope you already have a nice one on the ground

[Vaquero]

Thanks nothing as of yet, been a lot of shooting all around. Only thing I'm seeing is squirrels.
But it's still early.

You're the second person to mention that.
Head shots for sure.

Godd shooting there! Good luck in the field. What are your loads for the .41 Henry? My wheels are turning. Thanks.

Tom, I have a coulpe loads but they don't look like that just yet.
Those are some Corbon factory loads, box has 250grHC.
I bought those years ago when I first got my Black Hawk.
Looks like I shot 5 and that was it, I found them the other day looking for something else.

I did pick up a new mold this past summer that I haven't tried yet. It's a 268 gr. so that will be my goal.
Hopefully get started on it around the first of the year.
I have some 280 gr that came from BTB that need some attention also.
