Henry Rifle Forums

Hello all I haven’t been on forum in a while but I did get two bucks one with 44 mag cch and one with my buffalo rifle, 45/70 cch at two hundred yards with my 300 gr no’s Val. Tips deer didn’t even kick never new what hit him. The 44 was my 240 xtp reloads.he ran 25 yards. I didn’t post pic not big racks. I will try harder to stay on forom more.

delighted to hear from you again .... congrats on the harvest .... I'd really like to hear more about your "300 gr no’s Val" bullets

Spelling was wrong meant nosler ballistic tip the ones u told me about. Used 64 grains of h335. Scope set up to 300 yards very accurate load shot 5 deer with this load so far and only 1 ran 25 yards others down where they stood.

10-4 .... Nosler's Ballistic Tips are extremely accurate and hit hard .... don't recall if I mentioned Shooter's Pro Shop ====> http://www.shootersproshop.com/ to you or not .... they sell Nolser's Overruns and Blemished bullets .... the Blems have truly minor cosmetic flaws that have no impact on their performance .... I have no hesitation in using when big game hunting .... they have excellent prices ....

I would like to hear more about your shot with the 45/70 @ 200 yds. How much hold over did it require? Other than Hornady, I'm not too familiar with other bullets / loads to make a 45/70 reach out that far. Good shootin, to fill the freezer!

based on firing Nosler 300 gr Ballistic Silvertips from our CCH Henry 45-70 .... we generate about a muzzle velocity of +/- 2300 fps .... per our ballistics calculator, if sighted in for 300 yards:

out to 50 yards hold the crosshairs a little below where you want the bullet to hit

75 to 250 yards hold the crosshairs on the bottom of the deer's belly

275 to 300 yards hold a little below or dead on

at this muzzle it takes about a half second for the Nosler 300 gr Ballistic Silvertip to travel 300 yards and would still be traveling +/- 1200 fps and delivering +/- 950 ft lbs of energy

it is a very capable round

I shoot an Nikon 3x9x40 scope and worked it for 100,150,200,250and 300yards. It is very accurate had to work on it a while at range on my club after 1st season but got it done . These 300gr loads so far have total pass through on my deer. There is always blood and gore where deer was standing so trailing is easy but only had 1 go 25 yards others dropped in tracks or only ran 10 to 15 yards. JE bar told me about these bullets 3 yrs ago.also scope has a BCD reticle on it

.
my favorite reticle.
