First shots with my Big Boy Brass

The wife and I went to Mississippi to visit my best friend so I took my new Henry BBB in 357 with us. We set up a little range and had a blast. If you look at the three shot group in the lower right of the bullseye you can understand how happy I am. The shots were at 50 yards and Iron sights using Winchester white box 158 grain jacketed soft points. We were able to hit a beer can fairly consistently too.We put over 50 rounds through her and not a single Hiccup. I was now where near as consistent off hand.
I gotta admit that it has been years since I fired a rifle. I only bow hunt with a longbow now but, I see that changing this year.

Looks good CS! Someone had a great group lower left of the bull.
Lots of fun!

It does like that factory ammo for sure. Great shooting . 357 levers are a great choice I love all 4 of mine.

Nice shooting. If you hand load you can work on loads that have very little recoil for your wife.

Where at in MS? Lot of folks around me have enough land to shoot on. Usually me or one of the neighbors is spending ammo almost every weekend, but hasn't been nearly as much in the last couple months. Everyone is conserving ammo, I suspect.
