Henry Rifle Forums

Some 50 yd shooting today with my Henry 1860 rifle in 45 Colt. Shooting reloads; 200 gr LRNFP and 7.0 gn of Universal. No wind today at all, and temperature at 35F. Open sights on all. These are the little 3" targets that I bought last week. NCG is right, they are challenging and make you up your game for sure.


50 yds, shooting from 1 knee, sorry PT7, tried to hit the X on all but this is what I got...


50 yds, from 1 knee....a 12 round barrel-full, I might stick this one on the fridge....



These 2 are off hand standing at 50 yds....tough to keep that barrel still, if you overthink it you're toast...


Last but not least, took me 3 or 4 rounds to nail it but here's a quarter at 25 yds from 1 knee...without the sun shining on it I doubt I could see it well enough from 25 yds. Look for the sparkle of light and hope for the best.



Hope you enjoyed the report, shoot safe.

beyond nicely done .... several keeper targets for sure

Wow. Great shooting RR! That quarter was hit dead center. Thanks for the report.

Nice shootin as usually, aim small hit small.
Ain't the gumberment gonna frown upon the defacing of the currency?

Nice shootin RR need to make a key chain outta that quarter

Awesome! You are an actual sharpshooter. I envy your skill. Just awesome.

Well when you got that eagle eye along with a great rifle those are the results. Very well done!

Appreciate the kind words all. I wish the wind would stay away more often. The way the feds here waste money they won't miss that quarter.

My Henry sure is a fun shooter!

Thank you but I only clipped the edge...after 3 or 4 rounds I think this was a very lucky shot indeed....but I'll take it!!

I also put a lever wrap on today. It came with the butt cover but have not used it until today. Took a little getting used to. Jury out still. Looks cool.
