Henry Rifle Forums

I just received my order of Choice 45 Colt ammo today. Not an earth-shattering post; just a fun foto. (Also helps me remember what ammo is stored in what container when I document with photos).

I think this is my third or fourth order from this company since I got my Russian top break last year. They must have changed the packaging, or alternate what they use....don't know for sure.

Anyway, all previous orders came in a plastic jar as seen on the left.
I like this more rustic-looking bag, which my 250 rounds are in.
Seems to somehow make Cowboy-action ammo more Cowboy.

P.S. Doesn't that Henry Orange towel highlight our photos nicely?

It sure does!

That pic needs a boot spur and a Tom Horn hat PT

That container is more likely closer to those that carried tobacco than ammo, but you're right... it is more rustic than a plastic jug. Cool bag. I'd keep it when it was empty.

Too cool.

great picture and comments .... I like both the jar and bag ..

The towel is a great backdrop for the story you're telling. I'm a sucker for fabric bags like that, too. And leather ones, and burlap ones.

Thanks for the pic!

Yup, it'll be a keeper. It is pretty stout material to be able to tote 250 rounds of 45 Colt bullets.
Just might find I can carry some BP supplies in it when I go to a shoot. Little like a "possibilities bag," sans the pockets.

No tobacco smell when I opened the box, so this bag missed that use!

Yeah, cool bag.
What did you give for the 250 rds., if you don't mind me asking?

No, don't mind.

Agreed on the per round cost. I don't exactly recall how I found this MT company, which hand loads CAS ammo. Glad I did.

It suits my need to feed my 45 Colt revolver, and the ammo (as far as I can tell) is quality. Most of all, the Choice Folk have been very helpful as I researched their load data, and especially they always have provided good CS to me. They don't yet beat Henry's CS, but they try hard. I'll continue to use them.

I think their products will continue to be in demand. There are a lot of Cowboy-action shooters out there!

P.S. Whenever I look at the ammo on their website, I also enjoy some of the photos they use showing their MT location in the Bitterroot Valley. This pic isn't on their site, but it sure is purdy country. I could see living and working in this area!
