PT,
Would be great to get together at FJ. Let me get this BBS in my hands, break it in a bit and I'll follow up after the 4th Holiday. Some nice, indoor shooting will be great to do in July in KC, right? Will stay in touch via PM.

Sounds good, especially indoors in July this year!

You'll have fun bringing that BBS together, ESquared. I think that the Henry I got this time has especially sharp-looking wood on it. Hope you get some nice furniture, too, and a silk-smooth lever to boot!

Yup, let's connect via PM next month. WIll look forward to it.

Question for any/all of you with the .357/.38 regarding ammo.

Any particular brands to avoid in terms of feeding/ejection, or does it all pretty much go BANG?

And, since I've not shopped these calibers in a while, what's good online source for .357/.38?

Welcome from the Land of Sugar! May you always shoot straight and never run out of ammo! I reload but do purchase online at times if the price is ridiculously low and cheaper than reloads. Buds has prices lower than most and if you can catch on sale/clearance Ammunition Depot. You'll have to figure in shipping to make sure it's cheaper than your LGS.

Thanks for the tips, Jake! Bud's is worth a check, I know I've done well there on different guns over the years, just never think of them for ammo.

Appreciate the welcome and the good wishes!
