Re: New Henry owner, 45-70 H010
I was able to make it to the range this morning and my Henry ran like a champ. The action was smooth & flawless. I dialed it in at 50 yards with Hornady LeveRolution 325 gr using a Vortex Venom, 3 MOA. The attached photo is 4 rounds @ 50 yards. I’m ready to get in the woods now.

I do plan to handload in the relatively near future. I'd like to replicate this round.

Re: New Henry owner, 45-70 H010
its good to note that the casings Hornady used for their LeveRolution ammo are shorter than standard length .... for that reason its wise to not reload them with any other bullet .... so long as you are happy with them, no problem .... if you ever decide to go with any other bullet, there can be significant issuesSailorjerry wrote:I do plan to handload in the relatively near future.
