I have the same rifle, love it. 1” group @ 100 yards with the Hornady American whitetail 150 grain Interlock. Tried other brands but not as good of a group.
Couple of tips. Rifles with two-piece stocks usually shoot better when rested on the frame or just forward of that. Second, parallax can be an issue with fixed-focus scopes at close range set at high power. The low comb of the Henry can make it difficult to stay centered behind the eyepiece, which reduces the effect. I had an early Henry .308, one subject to the trigger recall. It would group my standard handload sub-moa for three at 100. It was damaged on its way back from the recall, and the replacement barrel was less accurate. I still have a .410 and a .357, and like them a lot. I’d like to see Henry offer a stock better suited for scope use. Add-on risers work, but add weight and can shift around. The recalled triggers and new ones are quite nice for a gun in this price range, perfectly usable, and better than most lever-actions by a good bit.
Those Norma's are loaded pretty hot. I noticed similar results with norma in 308 & other calibers too. They are kinda hot. I've had pretty good results with them tho.
I'm not sure when you purchased the rifle but I own a 308 of the same model and a few years ago there was a factory recall mine had a very stiff trigger so I shipped it to the factory and they fixed the recall problem and that fixed the stiff trigger so I would check and see if your rifle is under the recall if it is call henry and have them send a shipping label and box to you and send it in they'll fix it for nothing and ship it back to you.. now mine has a good trigger not so stiff.. all the shots in the video are kill shots.. THANKS for sharing..
Seems like it likes 150s better. But I think people get a little wrapped around the axel about groups instead of bullet performance. You're not going to have a bench in the deer woods.
. YOU will never shoot better than the accuracy of the gun. A more accurate rifle makes it easier for you to hit with. More importantly, if you are shooting a consistently accurate rifle, then YOU know if you miss that is was your fault, not the rifle's.
I have one of these in the brass frame in 45-70. Love the gun. However I do not love the brass butt plate!!! A limb saver slip on recoil pad makes it a shootable gun. These are chambered without a throat and if you want to shoot anything other than a 300 gr bullet you must rent a throating reamer. Your 405, 450, 500 will not chamber at all.
Its not helping that your stock comb is very low in relation to your stock. It will make for inconsistent cheek contact and results. A poor fitting setup with a heavy trigger will have predicable results. Cheek riser is in ordee for that thing.
I hate the low comb of the but stock, the Henry's just don't fit me well as I need to scope my rifles (old poor eyes). I think Henry is a great company, I would buy their products if it was not for my fit problem. But if others like the stock, I accept it is what it is.
@@Robert-z9j thanks for watching and the comment. It was not shooter error I shot several groups at 50 yards and 100 yards and it always would shoot two close and one flyer. Not sure why it does this but it consistently shot the same type of groups.

@@baconator754 thanks for the comment and for watching the video. I’ll keep your tips in might for the next time I shoot it.

I think I'd throw out that rest and I'd handload. Single shot rifles can be tricky.
A 3" group is bound to give you much worse results off hand.

I would bring the federals up two inches and go get your deer. Wabash Puma...

@@pseudopetrus I agree and thanks for the comment.
I think winchester was shooter error
