henry loads for the 45 colt

[Jim Clark]

I was warned not to shoot my S&W 6' 45 colt loads in my Henry Big Boy due to pressure problems.
Is this a valid concern. I am loading 200 gr HPs at 980 fps for my pistol. Has anyone come across this problem or is it not valid?

Thanks alot LRDGCO

Yes, as LRDGCO said, any standard 45 Colt ,load will be safe in a Henry rifle.

Shooting hot rodded 45 Colt loads may not be a good idea.

I'll let you know how it shoots Thanks

Any load that meets SAAMI specs for 45 Colt is suitable for the Henry rifle. If it's listed in a manual for 45 Colt, and not as a 'Ruger Only' load, it's suitable for the Henry.

That is the correct answer, good luck.
