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
It's no fun shooting with a hard hat on. Lol!

That's the truth. Did a bunch of it with that old steel pot helmet on. Don't recall any fun. LOL.
I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

Been looking at several hundred ready to load cases. Never go wrong doing some more of what works. WooHoo! 357 Magnums coming up!
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

6.3 worked good in the Cowboy here a while back, but they might be a little hot for that pistol.
But I'm not sure. Without gettin up and looking at the data.

forty, those 230rn you're using; those normally for a .45auto? If so, what's your OAL? Thanks! I have a LOT of those.
