4th of July, 1860

[RanchRoper]

Range time today with the 1860 Henry in 45 Colt. Shot 50 rounds of Winchester 250 gr Lead Flat Nose ammo. I've put countless rounds of this ammo through my Henry and never a feed issue yet. It cycles through the action as smooth as can be.

First target is 25 yards rapid fire, a full mag tube of 12 rounds. 8" target. Off hand standing with the open sights as usual. Yeow!....that barrel heats up fast. Fun though, even with the 2nd degree burns.

Next is probably my best target to date, 50 yards, off hand standing. I was very happy with the results. No wind today and that certainly helps, but I'll tell you what; this is one accurate rifle. If I do my job, it will certainly do it's job. 38 rounds, with 1 round off the 12" grid, and some were very close to where I was trying to put them.

Your shooting has been getting better and better.

[RanchRoper]

Thank you. Challenging myself is great fun.

Honestly, Ranch, that is some world class work with that Henry. I'm going to have to have a great day to come close to that. Outstanding.

Love that cartridge cuff on the gun. Adds a bit of elegance to an already very classy gun.

[RanchRoper]

Very kind words. Thank you so much. Yesterday was a good day. Ideal conditions ie no wind don't happen very often here!
