A little outing to see if any liked a load the a Glenfield I used to have liked very well.
The load is 29.5 grs. of BL-c(2) & a 170 gr Sierra pro hunter, the distance is 50 yds.
First up are the Winnies, a Range which is an AE, from '83, '84, and the Classic which is a '66.

Overall I will say it's a decent load.
Maybe someone could try it in a Henry and add it.
Then the Marlins a '67 Texan, and my '75 RC which was my first Marlin, and CF rifle I got myself.

You are like me with the 38-55 Randy. I think I have 4 of them. Looks like the ole Western Field liked that load. Of course a scope is an advantage.

Some very nice lever guns, there. Thanks for sharing. Gotta love what that Western Field with a scope does with that load.

Lol, The '75 RC as always shot 150's better than any 170's but I still wanted it's input.
Saving 'em for the grandsons, just exercising them a little. :lol:

The eyes ain't what they used to be, hard to see them dots. ;)
