Heres to ya RR finally got out to go shooting. Took the 338 Win Mag to check for elk season along with 2 Henrys. The 38-55 sidegate with some more test loads and my CCH Carbine in 357 that I had not shot yet. My only target picture is from the 38-55. To say Im extremely happy with the 38-55 is an understatement. It shoots very well and im not so sure that if I put a scope on it that it wouldnt stack this load right on top of each other. 10 shots 50 yards Henry iron sights and old eyes. I think I might be able to wander north to high rocky peaks of Alberta and help RR pick off a few Banditos

That's very impressive work with the un-scoped 38-55. As much as I use scopes, I'd be confident using that rig without one. Nicely, done, Al.

Double what has been said, Al. Impressive elder eye work proving out those iron sights.
Great shooting and range report!

Impressed! Seems you'll get along just fine with the .38-55 as is. Nice shooting there.

Al, that's great shooting. I'm glad you are liking that 38/55. I've never even heard of one before Henry came out with it. How do you like the side gate?
Keep up the great shooting!

Thanks Dave. As far as the sidegate goes, its a Henry and I love all of the Henrys I have. But my sidegate was bought because I wanted the 38-55 caliber and not because it has the sidegate. 38-55 is just a great caliber to shoot and its easy to load for because of the straight wall case. Its easy on the shoulder to shoot whether its loaded with hunting loads or loaded down for plinking. If Henry should happen to offer one in CCH I think I would buy another one.
