Re: New Henry!
Good for you, congrats in advance! Look forward to your first impressions and to hearing how the reloading goes. What are you thinking you'll be doing for brass as you start out? Starline or something else new?

Re: New Henry!
Thanks! I have a very good reloading store nearby, and he has a good selection of Starline brass, priced fair. So, more than likely running handloads, tho I may buy a couple boxes of factory to help my brass count along. This is going to be fun.

These steel rifles, and carbines, will be the workhorse hand me down firearms of our time. Solid, well built. Git Er Done!

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Re: New Henry!
Thanks guys. Was going between .41 mag and the .45 Colt. Just had to have that Colt. Perhaps the .41 next. But, that will be a while. Not one to press my luck.

Re: New Henry!
Enjoy shooting and reloading with that new Henry!! I'm doing same with my new .44 Carbine.
Unique powder works well in .45 Colt loads and then 2400 for the hotter loads.
What kind of press will you be using?
