we've bought our Ruger Redhawk 44 Mag decades ago and have used the same load using Nosler's 240 gr JHP bullets from day one .... when we purchased our Henry, we loaded it with the same ammo .... bottom line, our Henry likes them .... I recently started playing around with some 300 gr jacketed and 240 gr cast bullets

Sounds great, how are the 300gr performing on 100yard?

I don't know yet .... I've run 300 gr JHP through our chronograph where they averaged 1525 fps at 10' from the muzzle .... the 300 gr Barnes Busters averaged 1451 fps .... I don't see being able to get back out to a range until the week after Thanksgiving
