Just be careful when using W231 in a .45LC case, there is a lot of room for too much powder, yes that is an issue with such a big case... No problem with W231, just be careful.
This bears repeating. Inspect. Every. Case.

Thanks for correcting that for me! I'm not sure where that rumor originated but I'm fairly sure I had heard the "brass cover" info more than once. Good to know the truth.I've heard this before, from non-Henry owners. I've purchased 2 Henry Big Boys, in .357 Mag. and the receivers are solid brass. Their materials are named by location of their manufacture and quality.
I wound up buying a used Rossi M92 in stainless off of gunbroker for $459. It comes with a leather scabbard so I guess now I need to buy a horse.
Before I start horse shopping I think I'll head down to my local cast bullet shop and get 500 of their 45 COLT (Cowboy) RNFP 200 GR .452. I'm going to work up a mid power plinking load in 45LC using W231 and also see how the very same bullet feeds in my 45ACP 1911s. I have heard that a lot of people like this very bullet and profile in 45ACP so I think I'll put the bullet to double duty that way, if I'm happy with them I can order in higher quantity for a more better price.
I currently shoot their 230gr RN lead but it's sized to .451. It looks like all their "cowboy" ammo is sized to .452 and their 45ACP to .451
I'll just need to test them in both the Rossi and 1911 and see how it goes. Thanks again to all who chimed in with suggestions. This is a great community!
