Henry Rifle Forums

Does anybody out there have a magic formula for these components? I’m using WInchester brass and CCI non-magnum primers if that helps.

Specifically for a Henry Single Shot in .357.

Thanks!

You can start right around the 11.5 area and go up from there. I have had good luck with the Missouri Cast 180 in that range.

I looked in my Lyman loading book and they show the 180 XTP with Alliant 2400 at 10.0 to Start and a Max load at 12.6 gr.
11.5 would be a safe place to start like Al said.

Thanks fellas!!!

Like Al, I have used that 11.5 load with the 180 gr cast from MB co.
Never tried the xtp's.

I too am getting good results with the Missouri 180 grain cast.

Exactly the reason why I'm working up 180 grain loads!
