Shooting the Henry
« on: August 20, 2015, 08:29:52 PM »
Yesterday, I shot my new Uberti Henry for the first time.  ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTED!!!  I tested two loads:  Winchester brass, 5.6 gr. IMR 700X (a little over 1000 fps) and 200 gr. RNFP lead bullet, and 6.1 gr. Trail Boss ( a little short of 1000 fps) with same components.  The rifle shoots the hotter load right to the sights at 35 yds., the TB load is a little high.  I was able to ring a 16" square plate several times from the bench at 200 meters.

What a fun rifle!!
