Henry Rifle Forums

Hi all,
I have a Henry Bigboy Classic in .357 mag, I hand load and cast for all my leeever guns. I’ve purchased RNFP moulds for casting in .44 mag, and .45 Colt, for the .357, I have the mould my dad left me, it drops a round nose.358, dia, 160 grn boolit. My question is, is it safe to shoot round nose boolits in a leeever gun with a tubular magazine?
Thanks,
Paul

lead tipped round nose, flat nose or hollow point bullets are customarily fine for using in a tube magazine ....

Yes, what Jim said above.
Carry on,

Yep, you should be fine. What powder?

I’m using Trailboss when I can get it, otherwise Tight group

With all three leeever guns, and both smoke wagons I shoot light cowboy loads, as all I’m doing is shootin steel at the end of the property. They’re plenty accurate, easy on both me and the guns, and no leading! That makes me a happy man!
