I took the 1885 Winchester out to the range today with a box of Winchester 100 grain lead rounds. It shoots a little low and to the right, but all things considered not bad for a gun pushing 130 years. I am thinking about looking for an original Lyman tang sight for it since I have the rear sight up all the way with the correct elevator. But what a pleasant gun to shoot!

It wants to shoot tight groups, I bet some judicious hand loading and attention to detail on some cast bullet loads would make some ragged one hole targets at pretty good distance
