A pair of Henry H015 rifles, both chambered in .44 Remington Magnum

[RobD]

American Walnut stock, 22" round bbl w/1:20 rifling.  Both have carbon fiber CVLife bipods. 

The scoped rifle has an Arken EL4-4-16x44 scope.

The iron sighted rifle has a Smith receiver ladder rear peep sight and a Lyman 17AUG peep front sight (soon to be replaced with a tall Lee Shaver spirit globe peep sight as the Lyman is too short a height for 25 and 50 yards).

I build both smokeless and black powder paper patched bore rider cartridges for both rifles.  The smokeless load is the same used in the H012GCC lever rifle.  The BP PPB load uses Starline brass, Federal LPP, 3.1 grains of Swiss 3F black powder (fills the case to the case rim), a single .062" Circle Fly veggie wad (both the powder and wad are compressed .100" below the case rim).  The slick (a bullet with no lube grooves) is cast from an Accurate Molds 42-296 mold with 1:20 tin:lead alloy, drops @ 299 grains and .417" diameter, wrapped in Fidelity 10# paper that yields a final diameter of .4235" (the bore mics @ .424" diameter).

As of this date I've just begun load testing at 50, 100, and 187 yards.
