Hey Al, putting these to a test later.
Got a good friend just south of St. Louis picked up a Henry CCH in 45 colt and said these preformed well in it.
Checked data, between 19.7 and 20.2, with a very max. of 20.8 with extreme caution.
Going to see if the Cowboy or Rossi like either.

That's a good load for the 250 XTP bullet and I load them to 20 gr. for use in my Ruger Bisley Blackhawk, Alaskan and the 45 Colt Henry. They pack a good punch and give 1100 FPS out of my 2.5 inch Alaskan.

Hey, at least they did finally make it here.
A lot longer wait than either of us wanted but it worked out.
Appreciate all that you did, and hey I posted a review in the range section. ;)

Forty, I only found thirty of the small primered .45 auto brass, already loaded. I thought I had more. If I do find any, I'll let you know.

Reloaded 24 rounds of .30-06 for the M1 that my 18 year old grandson fired off when he was here visiting us from Seattle a couple of weeks ago. He began shooting the MI was he was only 10, and that was from a shooting sled. These days he shoots it off hand. Doing this, at 75 yards he fired all 24 rounds (3 enbloc clips), into a 6" group. He did this in 2 minutes & 15 seconds to include inserting 2 new clips and he did not get an "M1 Thumb".

I also reloaded 50 rounds of .30-40 Krag for my Krag carbine, 220 gr. Hornady RN bullets atop 33 grs. of R/L 15. Hopefully, the MV will be around 1950 FPS. I am striving to shoot 3" groups at 100 yards. If the rifle will not do that with the 220 gr. bullets, I will drop down to 180 grains spitzers. Need to be careful when reloading these old Krags to keep the pressure below 40,000 PSI.

Addionally, I cleaned the M1, .30-40 Krag, and my Henry. 44 Mag BBB.
