Henry troubles

[Scott Harris]

Has anyone had a henry lined recently by Bobby Hoyt? The loads that work in Henrys with a stock barrel don't group in this one. TIA

Hey Scott;
Did you slug the bore after you got it back from Bob ?

I did a few years ago. I tried everything to get that thing to group when it came back, and couldn't, so I called him and he told me sometimes they just don't work, and it wasn't worth trying to figure it out. He just had me send it back to him and he relined it again.

When it came back, I got a 1.5" group at 50 yds., and 1" group at 100 yds. that hit 4" lower than the 50 yd. group using the same sight. I use a .429 Mav Dutchman bullet with about 28 grs of Swiss FFFg.
