I've been shooting 45 colt vaquero and wanting a rifle to match it. Old Marlins way too expensive and the Henry being a nice rifle is on the heavy side. I'm loading some 260 grain lead with 7 grains of unique. Havent chrono graphed yet. I had a Rossi in 357 and got rid of it because it would only cycle 38 special. My back range offers some 34-100 yard shots. Can't scope it so old eyes are going to have to zero at 25 yards and was wondering drop at 50-75 and 100. Didn't buy it today until I could do a little research and check here to see if anyone has any experience with the 45 and the Rossi out to 100.
