I have two Henry's. Not one bitch about either one of them. Except for the occasional ding I put in those beautiful pieces of wood when hunting! But no use in owning one if you are not going to enjoy...

And of course, they had to walk the old fat guy clear down to #8! Did I mention I am done with the walking thing already.

Resized below 800x600 and it worked.
The beautiful morning for the walk to the firing points. Absolutely awesome weather..... for now.

Yes there should be. Nothing . I'll have to keep working on it.
I'm having problems loading pictures. After choosing file, there is no button to press to upload.
Arrived at 7:10. Stop to use the greenhouse. Had to make a political donation to the Biden campaign. Ok... I feel 10 pounds lighter now. Start the walk back. I avoid the shuttle. Walking gives a...
Its 5am. Rubbing sleep out of eyes. Ahhhh.... that first cup of coffee sure tastes good! Entered the Rimfire Sporter Match.
Going to give The Henry Small Game Rifle a try. It has a Skinner Peep...

My brother has a Henry 44mag with a 1/20 twist. It shoots standard semi jacket 240's VERY well. I know this is a cast boolit forum, but rifle manufacturers can't design a firearm with reloaders in...

The COL is misleading. A bullet with a slow taper can be seated much longer then one with a short fast taper. Measure to the ogive... not the bullet tip. Easy to do with ogive gauges. If you measure...

Henry is not to blame because your reloads don't fit. Their rifles are made to fit factory, SAMMI spec ammo. Unless you do a chamber cast of both rifles, you can't say the winchester rifle doesn't...

No one has mentioned, we'll maybe vaguely, simple red dots. Since my eyes are getting bad, I can't use the Marble's Bullseye as effectively as i used to. Especially in dim light. So i mounted a red...

I have this on my Henry 45-70. WONDERFUL sight.As long as I'm wearing my glasses that is. Farsighted, and hard to see a good front sight picture.

Henry 001TLB Small Game Rifle.
Mine was dead on out of the box. Never adjusted the sights. The
Skinner peep sight is wonderful. Has Interchangeable apertures that can be purchased from Skinner....

I guess it depends on what you're using it for.. A 45-70 is not what I would consider a plinking load.
For the last 2 years I've only shot 5 rounds per year.. Four rounds to make sure it is...
Forum: Leverguns
45-70 kicks too hard? Why are some of you using 400 grain plus boolits for deer?
I cast 325 grain and run them in front of 50 grains of Varget.
The recoil is roughly about the same as a 12 gauge. ...

30.06 for me.
There are valid reasons for not shooting commercial 30.06 ammo out of a Garand. But if you are not competing in an "as issued" match, why not install an adjustable gas piston? You...

Ditto.... it takes very little effort to remove the crimp, it bevels the primer pocket slightly, and it wont loosen your primer pocket.... like some swages will do.

I have complete lists.... WITH PICTURES! It's so easy to do with a cell phone. Its not like you have to go get the film developed! But knock on wood, never had any stolen.

Load up some 147,s and try it. A friends HiPoint responded favorably to the heavier bullet. He just used a standard pistol recipe. May not be the same improvement for the Keltec, but it might respond...

Also check with the CMP. They have parts up the wazoo. But you may also now have a problem with the gas tube so inspect carefully

It the barrel has been bore lapped, the break in is basically done for you. You wont find much copper after shooting.
The reason they want you to use an ammonia based cleaner (like Sweets 7 62)...

I just got home and measured my shellholders. Measuring from the top of shellholder where die contacts, to the floor of shellholder where case head rests.
My RCBS is .0025 thicker then the Lee...

I got to CMP Special same as you. It is a beautiful piece of machinery! If you use the adjustable gas plug, you will be able to shoot about all factory ammo, with proper adjustment. But you wont be...
Forum: Factory Rifles
I noticed you use the universal decapper. RCBS I assume?
Then you use a Lee FL sizer. What brands are your shellholders?
If you used the RCBS shellholder while uncapping, did you replace it with...
