Sorry, I stand corrected......his Henry 45.70 isn't a mares leg but it is a short looking thing.The mares leg of his is a .357

There are some people who really don't have the slightest clue what they are talking about. All the more compounded when "advising" others....
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Why the foul language, this isn't GoM why can't you post without using gratuitous swear words?

Likewise, you've appeared to to attempt to impart knowledge and wisdom with "Sheeple Englandstan" opines and the likes. You need more reading.....

I apologise for my terse response. As said, particularly grumpy pants on today....
