Got it, sorry for the confusion. Still interested in your experiences with loading for and shooting it!

Went to the place that has my .45 to get the paper work going for Ca.'s 10 day wait. This rifle is fantastic looking!
And, at least 1.5 lb lighter than my .357 BB brass. Oh, these BB steels are way nicer looking in person[?] than in pictures.
Dang, wheels already turning. This could get bad. You guys warned me.

Good ol' Kalifornia! Good luck with the wait.

The BB Steel is a great looking gun, no doubt! Love my 357, but feel like a need a Brass Carbine. Hefted a brass carbine 357 yesterday, and boy, does it handle well!

And then there's CCH, which also comes in the 45LC Carbine!

Decisions, decisions...

Suggestion. Just quit facing so many decisions by becoming a F/T Henry rifle aficionado and collector. Then it will be simple to get as many different Henrys as you want, anytime, anywhere. If you do that, "they will come." ;)

My 357 steel carbine is my first. The 45 steel carbine will be next. And my grandchildren will enjoy them too. What a great thing.

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.......

First off congrats on a fine choice, the 45 colt is a very fun round for sure.

Been shootin 'em a little while, 2 Rugers & a Marlin 1894 Cowboy.
Have 2 friends with the Henry BBS carbines.
In all the rifles 9.5-10.0 grs. of Unique and a 255 cast has been the cats Meow for us. YMMV

Can't wait to see how you like yours.

Picked up the new Henry .45 Colt and it's a beaut! Fit, finish and function are perfect. This will be going to the range in short order. Loaded up some MBC 250gr RNFP over 8.0gr Unique in new Starline brass. Hopefully pictures soon.
