[QUOTE="PddPdd, post: 2682641, member: 111799"] I'm in the process of purchasing a Henry X Boy in 45-70. The barrel twist is 1:20 and about 20" long. I plan to build reloads to deal with worst case a Grizzly encounter and occasionally pick up a grouse for dinner. I've been looking at cast lead bullets and the Hornady FTX. Some areas I need guidance on: 1. What brand of brass would be recommended? I would be building loads in the mid pressure ranges for this cartridge 2. Are there better bullets than cast lead for dangerous North American game? (.458" diameter) 3. I've been thinking of getting bullets in the 300-400 grain range to maximize energy inside of 200 yards. Thoughts? 4 Are their better sources of reloading data for this cartridge other than the powder manufacturers? I appreciate any input. Pdd [/QUOTE]
