Re: Henry Repeating Arms' H011- Original Henry Rifle 1860
my guess is that the bulk of the market will be CAS shooters, thus 44-40 is the right choice. Especially if black powder is going to be used. 45 LC would be the other choice for that market. However, Henry is attempting to build an authentic recreation. I can't find one or I would be test shooting ...

I've shot a few cylinders in my 6" Smith 686, though never targeted that distance. You know you're shooting a big load, and I think it would be a great bear deterrent. Shot many rounds at 100yds in the baby rolling block and, in fact, it's my favorite round to shoot, short of a 180gr .35 spitz...
