The Cimarron 1860 Henry rifle. Shooting mostly Winchester 45 Colt 250 gr lead flat nose bullets. The others I shot were some reloads that the LGS threw in with the rifle. Some of these are on target #2. I did not like them much, they are very mild loads and pretty wimpy. The factory bullets are my favorite ammo. Rifle shoulders really well and the weight loaded makes for NO recoil. Like shooting my Red Ryder. However, I might be getting more velocity with the 24" barrel versus the 20" on the Big Boy, because it sent chunks of wood exploding out of the backboard. I shot all targets at 50 yds, off hand standing. No 100+ yd shots today, the wind was nuts. Took a little while to figure out the windage, but target #3 was much better. 8" targets, and I had to aim quite a bit to the right to get in the circle. The wind was relentless. Loading is quite fun and gets some attention when you swivel the muzzle. It's comfortable to shoot and the mag tube tab was not an issue at all, in fact I didn't even notice I was moving my hand to avoid it sliding with each round ejected. The barrel gets warm but not uncomfortable. The sights are very easy to work with. Aim will get better with a few trips to the range. I really like it.
For an old cowboy like me, this was a trip back to the future.
