gtfratboy,
I acquired a Henry 45LC a few years ago, same problem, no matter what I did, be it different bullets and/or powder I could not get it to group. I was advised by other fellow members of the N-SSA to get the barrel re-lined. Apparantly, the rate of twist in the 45LC Henry is for modern smokeless jacketed ammunition which is a faster twist rate than the lead bullets we shoot, can handle. I then had Bob Hoyt re-line the barrel for me, who also agreed he had to employ a slower rate of twist for the 45LC for our purposes in black powder shooting w/lead bullets. That was about 2 years ago, and I believe the re-line job cost around $125.00
Here is Bob's address and phone number if you are interested. Hope this helps you.
