First outing with the Lyman peep.

I'm still playing around with the tang on my 1885. They are a little tricky it seems. Yours looks good, best of luck with it.

RR, how are the fires up your way? Not close I hope.

Nice to see someone here shooting that old time 38-55 besides me. What do you think about it so far Randy? Nice easy shooting round isnt it.

Liking it Al, wish I had of discovered it long ago. I was surprised by the light recoil, totally unexpected.
Those 250 gr xtp's I loaded the other had more recoil in either rifle, than anything I've loaded and shot in this rifle.

I pretty much just bottomed out this sight while I was cleaning it up, just to see where it's at...
Then some fun.

Yup thats one of the things I like about but it still has the knock down power. I read an article one time about recoil in rifles and energy foot pounds of recoil. 38-55 is one of the lowest.

Here is a recoil chart and you can see just how low it is.
