Scott,

If you don't mind using Black powder, try 18 grains of 3F Goex. Works very well for me. Soft lead bullet with SPG lube.

At one time in my life I was a serious gun nut. :shock: :roll: These are the one's I have loaded in my history. Most of this was just to play around. Since started shooting with N-SSA, I now only reload self defense load and hunting loads. Still have most of the dies but got rid of a lot of the weap...

Talked with a few folks back from deployments It is my understanding that most Marines units and more than a few Army units are requesting M-14's for issuance in Iraq and Afghanistan. It seems that the M-16 in its present configuration is not getting the job done. In close combat the high velocity t...

I agree with your rankings on the "quality" of the Italian MFGs. Still,to make a competitive competition weapon, ALL require quite a bit of work. Trigger and lock work being the principal thing. They are all so rough and metal so soft that they must be hardened for continuous use. With the...

I have an original 1892 Winchester in 32-20 that is loose where the barrel screws into the receiver. I had a local Gunsmith tell me to leave it alone and just not shoot it. Trouble is, it is accurate and I like to shoot it. There is also some indication of a headspace problem. I would like to know o...

First, there are some very strong shelves available at a reasonable price from Lowe's and some other folks. Steel framing which has wood inserts. They come with particle board but over time they sag. I have replace mine with 5/4 treated. No more sags so far. Great for holding ammo. I keep quite a lo...

I hope that we answered Fordboy85's question. If you need anymore information on the 1860 Henry, I'll be happy to answer. I am not an expert but have access to people that are.

While I prefer the 44 WCF, mainly for the same reasons already stated, all of the original calibers are good. Of those, you left off the 32 WCF. This is a fun little round, almost no recoil and very accurate.

Maybe one day when I retire I can head out there to NM. So you know the targets we shoot in the N-SSA, here are some examples: 50 yards: Clay pigeons, hanging and on backers ceramic tiles, 4"x4" down to 1"x1" 8 ounce juicers 2x4 ends water filled coke cans small coffee cups 3 inc...

Griff, The fouling problem is an easy fix. Just use a proper BP lube from SPG or MCM. Fouling should not be a problem. Also, clean and wipe between events so the fouling that is there doesn't have time to set up and harden. I have fired 30 plus rounds without any problem as long as the fouling is no...

Even though I am new to the board, It seems that I might be able to help a little on the Henry Rifles since I have owned a few. First, Unless someone else has joined in, ALL Reproduction Henry's are made by Uberti. There are a number of importers of the Henry under their own name, but they are made ...
