Thats RR favorite caliber that 45 colt. Makes big holes in targets. Im thinkin you will be fine and with Henry behind you if there is any issues you will be covered. Welcome to the forum.

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.......

Welcome! I bought my Henry BB steel.45 Colt thru Bud's. Hassle free and prompt. Mine also has the 20" barrel. You're going to love that rifle. So easy to shoot. Will you handload for it? Anyways, enjoy!

Yes, i will be reloading and casting bullets for it. I'm hoping to find a load that will work in both my Ruger Bisley and th Henry..

Shouldn't be hard at all to accomplish. I'd concentrate on getting the Henry to shoot first since that Ruger won't be too particular.

Dang! Made a post about loading for the .45 Colt, clicked Submit, and off to cyber space it went! schreck5, any questions on loading for the .45 Colt, ask away. [Lets see if this one stays.]

The biggest hurdle to jump will be getting an accurate chamber slug. Will the innerds be strong enough to get an accurate pound slug? I have a few diff. molds to try. A .452" 250ish gr. swc; a .454" 270 gr. swc; a Lee 310 gr. rfn; and a..454" 350ish gr. rfn. Powder will be h110 and red dot/promo. May end up getting a Williams 1/16th" brass bead front sight and a Skinner peep for the rear.
