I've used reloads for my vaqueros before, and plan on doing so with the rifle. I'm trying like the Dickens to have some fun before the school year starts (second grade teacher) and it's coming up fast. So I want to crank out some of my reloads and see how the do in comparison to factory stuff. The Henry has only seen the HSM cowboy loads, so I'm really eager to see how some different ammo feels and behaves in the rifle.

I will most definitely add to the total, that is such a cool idea, kudos to that one!

we have exclusively loaded our own since the mid 60's .... thankfully our Redhawk and Henry 44 mags both like the same round .... looking forward to following your results .... as to teaching 2nd grade, I must tip my cap to you .... my first career of 30+ years was teaching in NC's prison system .... you have my sincere respect .... no way I could make it a single day in an elementary school classroom

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
