I just finished up my late deer season with two, fat mulie does. I always shoot a couple with my Henry single-shot 30-30. I have an SWFA 6x scope on it. What a blast to shoot. I have shot around a half dozen deer with this rifle and have not caught a bullet yet. The farthest has been 168 yards. Amazing what this seemingly anemic cartridge can actually do. I tried all kinds of pointy bullets in it and have gone back to a stiff load of 3031, over a 150-grain round-nose blem from Midway.
Congrats......I knew it landed in a good place.
Thanks, Jim. It is a fun little rifle. I put a lot of rounds through it, trying to figure out the latest and greatest. I finally decided that it needed to be a 30-30, not a .308. I went back to basics and that is where it will stay. I put the super chicken on it and it is perfect. I have a 200-yard steel plate that is a chip shot after giving the scope four clicks.
