Greetings!
I'm about to receive my 4th Henry Big Boy in 45-70. My others include 44mag, 357mag and 45LC and really enjoy shooting all of them. Powder and bullets are slowly trickling in as they become available for the 45-70. I'm very excited to finally shoot a 22 inch barrel Henry but need to acquire more loading tables for the cast bullets. My Speer (#9, 11 and 14) books don't list many cast bullets as does my Hornady 9th edition. Looking forward to learning from others here about their favorite 45-70 loads. We are located in the Sierra Mountains @5,000 ft and waiting for the snow to melt so we can go out and shoot!

Re: Finally found this forum
Try to get a Lyman's cast bullet loading book. You will find some good loads for all of your Henrys. Welcome to our forum. We like pics of Henrys and range reports!!
Have fun and ask for help when you need. We are a good group here.
