Isn't that a rather stout load?
I love to load and shoot the 44-40, but haven't tried over 8.2'unique behind 220 rdn. In my Uberti Henry. Glad to see such a pretty gun in a great caliber.

Tough year for us. No deer. We only saw one, and as luck would have it, it was between my son and I on a trail with no shot after it stepped off. The four of us spent lots of hours waiting in stands...
