Today I went down and bowed my head in prayer at my bench to ask for no wind so I can go shoot my 41 on Saturday. If I get that done then I can do some reloading at my bench again.
Good luck Al, I'll be working Sat., this darn weather is getting us way behind.
Still no word from Henry about the 44.

A vice can be a handy thing to have, I have 2 on mine ( smaller tho ). I lined the jaws with leather strips, for holding sensitive stuff.
I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

You tumbler looks like mine. Did you add those two gray bands on the bucket, or did you do that yourself? Good idea, may add that to mine. Better traction.

Pretty much how I do it RR. 50 at a time. No hurry. And, I am liking that 7.0gr Universal load. A lot. It's right there with my 8.0gr Unique load.

Glad to hear it, it seems to be a very consistent easy load to manage.

Loaded up 50 41 mags with the 215 swc I had. Used 8 gr of Unique under them. OAL is 1.695. Randy guess I was wrong about the 41. I dropped 5 in the tube and they run through there smooth as glass. Maybe it was something else I had it mixed up with.
