Thread: Winchester 1892 - can't hit the side of a barn

So an update on the rifle...

Thanks to Finn, at Fishing and Hunting CHB, I was able to get necessary cleaning gear (harder than I thought as no one really stocks that calibre), I was able to make a start on giving it a decent clean. After the brush and patches and a couple of teas, I was able to see rifling for the first time since the rifle was made.

Grabbed a packet of hornady cowboy ammo and an old Drench container and set off.

10 metres - hit
30 meters - hit
50 meters - hits

All up 9 out of 10 shots hit the drench container, although mostly higher than where I was aiming.

Couldn't test out to any further range as I was shooting off the deck with the container on a fence post, and I didn't want to climb the electric fence.

So now for a decent clean and another pack of ammo
