Got it, sorry for the confusion. Still interested in your experiences with loading for and shooting it!

Went to the place that has my .45 to get the paper work going for Ca.'s 10 day wait. This rifle is fantastic looking!
And, at least 1.5 lb lighter than my .357 BB brass. Oh, these BB steels are way nicer looking in person[?] than in pictures.
Dang, wheels already turning. This could get bad. You guys warned me.

Good ol' Kalifornia! Good luck with the wait.

The BB Steel is a great looking gun, no doubt! Love my 357, but feel like a need a Brass Carbine. Hefted a brass carbine 357 yesterday, and boy, does it handle well!

And then there's CCH, which also comes in the 45LC Carbine!

Decisions, decisions...

Suggestion. Just quit facing so many decisions by becoming a F/T Henry rifle aficionado and collector. Then it will be simple to get as many different Henrys as you want, anytime, anywhere. If you do that, "they will come." ;)

My 357 steel carbine is my first. The 45 steel carbine will be next. And my grandchildren will enjoy them too. What a great thing.

Rifletom wrote:Thanks PT7. Dies will be here Mon, then Thursday, I'll pickup some Starline cases. I am ready to roll! I have some 200gr LRNFP to try. But, the main load will be Missouri 250 or 255 LRNFP and either Unique or Universal. Yep, fun winter project in the works.
First off congrats on a fine choice, the 45 colt is a very fun round for sure.

Been shootin 'em a little while, 2 Rugers & a Marlin 1894 Cowboy.
Have 2 friends with the Henry BBS carbines.
In all the rifles 9.5-10.0 grs. of Unique and a 255 cast has been the cats Meow for us. YMMV

Can't wait to see how you like yours.

Picked up the new Henry .45 Colt and it's a beaut! Fit, finish and function are perfect. This will be going to the range in short order. Loaded up some MBC 250gr RNFP over 8.0gr Unique in new Starline brass. Hopefully pictures soon.

That makes two of us, OP. Only I got the CCH model. I've put 30 rounds thru it at the indoor range, just for breaking it in. Ready to start load development work now.

Gotta love the CCH! Very nice pair you have there! Thanks for sharing. Look forward to a range report!

So how does the new Henry H012C shoot? Do your handloads shoot to point of aim at 50 yards?
