Here's my Henry Colt with 250 XTP's at 50 yards. Pictures of the cast loads I've tried so far would be embarrassing to post.

Edit to add....It's hard to tell from the pic but the rear sight is not contacting scope.

I have not but it might be worth a try. I may have to dig the .45 out soon and make another attempt.

Will those 285's cycle through the Henry?
