So today I set up a target in 40* weather. Target at 7yds, ammo Federal 230grn FMJ, 7 rds. I'll be shooting it more over the next few weeks (weather permitting) to break it in well.
Here's some screen shots of the video I took.
I think the known issues are taken care of. If you have any issues or know of another member who is having issues, PM daytime dave. As we head towards the holidays, hunt with your Henry.

I finally quite torturing myself about whether to shoot this NIB gun that I acquired in Nov '23.

A beaut, and the first shot was too.
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can't do anymore with regret, I just look forward to the things I still can.

I’m seeing a nice group in that target. Broken in or not that pistol is doing its job as well as the operator.

Well looks like it and you are doing a great job! Nothing like shooting off the porch without having to drive 30 miles to it!

Yes, but I still have to vacuum up the brass. I'm thinking about getting one of those robot vacs, but I'm not sure they can handle large caliber brass without choking on it.fortyshooter wrote: ↑Tue Dec 02, 2025 9:33 amWell looks like it and you are doing a great job!
