The other pumpkin I used to see the difference between the pumpkin load and a hit with a 158 gr. XTP bullet moving a typical Magnum speed. Yeah made a big hole compared to the one below it!
Guess who just had a birthday? We did. Henry Rifle Forums has made it to the 10 year mark. Thank you to all members, I'm glad you are here!

It's pumpkin carving time again.....
And this time the carving tool is my Henry .357 Carbine and first time I have tried this with a rifle. Didn't turn out too bad shooting my mild Magnum load of MB 158 gr RNFP bullets over 6 gr. of Power Pistol. They shot right on point from 8 yds which is great when having to slightly enlarge the hits.

Looks like fun, might have to give that a try next week. Let the deer come trick or treating when I’m done. They love pumpkin.

He looks shocked. Poor fella.
Nice job.
I'd try er with the 357 max, but they'd be picking up punkin pieces two counties over.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.
