WOW!!!! what a GREAT Day, Most Fun I have had in a long Time... man did the Time Fly....... woke up at 5:30 when wife was getting ready for work..... was 54deg out and just Beautiful....
Set up a target at 25yds, 50yds and 100yds... and Chrono is Ready to Roll and a balmy 63deg.... NICE!!!!
So 1st up the NEW Henry in .357... Tossed in some H110 Mag Loads..... and sent 6 down range at 25yds all free hand standing
THING IS SWEET!!! The Mag Loads have a Nice pop.. .... Seems I am Pulling to the Right
2nd Group was some Factory Rounds... Figured i'd need more Brass now :mrgreen:
I focused better but still pulling to the Right
Then i started to Chrono some Loads...... after a bunch thru the S&W .357 I did a Bench rest, arms Only, and managed a Pretty good Group..
5 rounds, notice the double Hole
factory Rounds
1343fps Avg...1395fps high.... 1273fps Low
Next up we had H110 15gr.... 3-158gr SWC and 3-158gr RN.....
SWC... 1747fps Avg... 1764fps High... 1728fps low
Same Round in S&W .357 was Avg 1182fps
RN....1714fps Avg.... 1728fps high.... 1689fps low
Same Round in S&W .357 was Avg 1023fps
Not sure which is which... but pretty good, another double hole
Last for the henry is 10 Factory Rounds at 50yds, Free hand Standing
Still looks like i favor to the right.... didnt have a small flat head screwdriver... so will try adjusting the site next trip out
Not Bad Though..
Did some more Chron on W231 loads in the Henry
W231 6.1gr .. 158gr SWC Avg 1317fps.... great load... Nice pop and seemed pretty accurate
Same Round in S&W .357 was Avg 1063fps
W231 6.1gr .. 158gr RN Avg 1208fps... another nice load....
Same Round in S&W .357 was Avg 976fps
Ill check accuracy on these next Range trip... and try a bit lighter load of H110, mainly for the Pistol, but see how they do in the Henry as well...
never did test the 125gr in the henry.... Ill do that Next trip as well
Thing is UBBER Fun.... popped off 10rds at 3 cans at 25yds... only missed 2x.... thing is real accurate... just need ta work on my EYES and The Sites... Gunna Paint the Front tip either White or Orange ta see if it Stands out More...
Now ta prepare my testing of H335 and WC844 for the .223....
