Henry Rifle Forums

First time since about February for me to get out and do some shooting. I took out 3 rifles my SS 357 a 38-55 that I hadnt shot yet and my Henry 22 pump that I had put a Bushnell red dot on and hadnt shot yet. First let me say the 357 loads were all with HS-6 powder because I have a ton of it and I want to use it up. HS-6 works good in 45 colt and I had read where it does a good job in 357. All the targets Im about to post were of the 357. I really didnt do much target work with the pump 22 but I will say it shoots excellent with a red dot on it and its just a kick to shoot set up that way. Im also really considering taking off my scope on the SS as I just like plinking better with red dots.
This target is 8.5 grains of hs-6 with a zero 158 grain hp bullet. Shot at 50 yards off bags wind at my back about 10mph and a 65 deg day
This target is 8.2 grains hs-6 with an xtreme 158 grfp bullet
Another target with the xtreme bullet and 9.4 grains of hs-6 with a mag primer. Ive read where hs-6 likes a mag primer better so I tried it on this load. The previous loads were with a standard primer. Im happy with any of the loads above and Im not sure which one I will use but its nice to have 2 different bullets to choose from. Although in this case Im probably going to go with the first load as I just ordered a 1000 of the zero bullets and I am out of the xtreme bullets.

Great report. Good to see you out again. Nice targets too. Way to go.

nicely done ....I really like the Zero bullets for range use ... good to see you back out on a range

Looks like some great loads, there. Nice shooting, too.

Oh, yeah, plinking with a red dot on a rifle is a LOT of fun.
