[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2807927, member: 5412"] I've got a S&W 25-5, and a buddy bought a Henry in .45LC so I though I would start reloading them. I saved up a couple hundred rounds of brass, and found wide discrepancies in rim thickness, and case length. Hornady brass from the leverevolution ammo seems to be the shortest, but the Winchester cowboy loads are .020 longer. Even within the same brand, rim thickness varies a lot. My RCBS trim pro has shims to help accommodate different rim thicknesses, but I sure need one in-between. Right now, I'm going to start with some mouse fart loads using 230 grain Berry coated round nose bullets, and graduate into Hornady SST rounds. I see a deer in the sights in November. I've got Unique, Blue dot, H110, and WST if anybody has a pet load using those powders. I'm not going to go out and buy a different powder, since that selection covers every thing I shoot pistol wise. What's your load? [/QUOTE]
