Rolled up some .357's toady for my BB. It seems to prefer Fiochi 158grn's rated at 1250fps to the 125grn hand loads I had already loaded for my Security Six. The 125's are max w296 and shoot well out of the revolver and not bad out of the Henry but the Fiochi groups have me spoiled. I have worked up some Nosler !58grn with w296 and CFE pistol. I hope my guns like the Noslers because I bought a bunch of them on sale. does anyone have any experience with the Nosler pills.

we've used Nosler 158 gr 357 JHP's as our deer hunting bullets for over 30 years .... during that time they have never failed us and have consistently performed flawlessly .... for practice bullets we use Zero 158 gr JHP ===> http://www.rozedist.com/mm5/merchant.mv ... de=ZBJ-38S .... they are much cheaper and perform well

JEbar, Thanks for the feed back on the Noslers. I loaded them 15.5, 16 and 16.5 grns of 296 and hoping for the best.

that should most certainly move them on down the range .... Per Nosler's manual we load their max recommended charge of 14.8 grns of 296 .... looking forward to following your load development

Finished off all my .45 Colt brass I have, now, on to some coated 158gr rnfp Missouri bullets. Haven't had the chance to pick up my 180's yet from local shop, but, he has them and said not to worry. So, 12.5-13.0 gr 2400 it is. Works pretty good in the Henry.

Started working on a batch of 100, 9mm . Hornady XTP 124 gr., CFE pistol, 5.2 grs., CCI primer.
Wanted to go to the woods shooting the Henry, but waay to windy to be in the woods. Tree or limb blow down on my noggin or truck,
would just about ruin my day, LOL
I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.
