What Load for 45 Big Boy Steel Carbine

[hardwickbv]

I've been shooting factory Hornady FTX ammo but think I can do better loading my own.

I have loaded up a ladder of 225 grain FTX with Blue Dot and another ladder of 300 grain XTP Mag with H110.
Hopefully going to get out this week to try them out.

Prefer to stay with jacketed bullets.

What are you all using for loads?

Thanks
Bob

Oh ya. That load was for my Ruger Blackhawk and my Win 94.
Should be fine in the Henry.
Wear eye protection for anything that HOT!!

Bob --- Welcome to the Henry Forums from the Show-Me-State!
You'll enjoy the time chatting with other reloaders here...lots of that happening for the centerfire Henrys.
Have a great day!
