Burning precious ammo
Burning precious ammo
Had to scratch an itch this morning, so I went out with my Glock 29, Winchester 94, and H001. A couple of failures to eject the last round with the Henry; has anybody else had that happen? Other than that, time was well spent.
Re: Burning precious ammo
Sounds like fun. To cold here and the ammo shortage got me inside in the warm.

Re: Burning precious ammo
Sounds like fun, I dearly wanted to some today also.
But rode to town with the wife and we are just gettin back.
I may step out on the back deck and at least sling a couple at the gongs.

Re: Burning precious ammo
The weather is looking good this week, with a few warmer days predicted. I plan together out.

Re: Burning precious ammo
Glad you got out. I hoping to get out in a bit myself, if weather and time permit. I do not have a H001. So, I cannot not make a direct comment. But on my H009, I noticed casings use to drop out or get hung at times. I just kept shooting, cleaning and working the lever with purpose. Now, the casings fly out. Keep shooting. If things do not improve, contact Henry.

I haven't exercised my 590 Mariner in quite a while, but when I read this thread yesterday, I just had to grab it and head out back to my shootin' stump. Took up a good stance, racked the slide, took a deep breath, pulled the trigger.......and hollered BOOOM real loud. Immediately felt better.

Re: Burning precious ammo
It was kinda fun, except for no massive recoil from that imaginary Brenneke 1.25oz slug. I might have to come up with a recoil simulator to make it more realistic.Vaquero wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 8:30 pmMay not have been as much fun, but it was cheaper.GunnyGene wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 8:23 amI haven't exercised my 590 Mariner in quite a while, but when I read this thread yesterday, I just had to grab it and head out back to my shootin' stump.

Re: Burning precious ammo

Re: Burning precious ammo
That is a nice gesture. I don't use that caliber. But, the price don't seem bad, about the same as pre-COVID-19 .30-.30 prices. That should keep someone in supply for awhile.
