About a year ago I got an Uberti Henry. Real nice gun.
When I got it, the only flat point .45 mold I had was the Lee REAL mold. Kind of a real blunt semi wadcutter. Seated to work in the action with a wad, I can run 24.5 gr of 2F. Does really well at 50 yards too, but at 100 the miserable BC of the bullet comes into play. Bullets all over the hill, not even all on the target frame.
My buddy shoots the big Lee 405. I tried this, my results were miserable.
Picked up a Lee 300 gr recently. Didn't perform well, though I want to try pure lead yet just in case it was a tad on the skinny side. I also want to try some 3F and see if that gives it enough more oomph to get out to 100 and to tighten the group in general.
Assuming that fails...
What you all shooting in your Henry rifles? I was willing to take a chance on the Lee mold due to the cheapness of them, but before I invest in a more expensive one I'd like suggestions (or sample bullets- I'd be happy to trade you some lead for them, or other bullets if there is something you'd like to try that I have).
Mainly I'd like something for 100 yards, but naturally if it grouped there, it would probably become my go-to mold for 50 as well.
