Range time. 35F with an icy fog in the air. No wind today so I did some 50 & 100 yard work. My 1860 Henry rifle in 45 Colt. Open factory sights. Ammunition today was Western Munitions 250 gr LFN. Made in Calgary Alberta. 50 rounds. Rifle worked flawlessly as usual. Time for a clean tomorrow. I am feeling much less intimidated shooting 100 yds with this rifle; it will get the job done if I can do my part. Having the little binoculars helps immensely, as I can adjust. The targets curled up from the damp weather so I re-mounted them on a wall to photograph them...that's why no holes in the wood in case you were thinking "huh?"
50 yds, off hand standing

100 yds, 1-knee position, and taking time between shots to check with binoculars, 12 rounds, first few went left but started to get it later.

Last round was my coffee cup at 50 yds, filled it with stones and set it on top of the target board. Entry wound was the usual 45 Colt hole but the exit hole out the other side was rather explosive...but I thought that was a pretty good shot for 1 bullet left...haha
