    Bought a Henry Big Boy steel big loop carbine

    Chambered in .357 mag/.38 spl. Should be a good companion to my LCRX and GP100. Hope it shoots as good as it looks. Have a Lyman 170 gr SWC mold, RCBS 150 gr SWC mold, and Lee 148 gr wadcutters mold. Plenty of brass. Should keep me busy for a while!

    I am patiently (yeah right!) waiting the release and shipping of my new Big Boy steel in .327fed/mag.
    I have about 400 factory rounds, 500 brand new Star-Line .327 cases, and 150+/- once-fired cases.
    A couple hundred each of 100gr JHP, 93gr LRN, 115gr LFP.
    Primers and powders are covered.
    I just need the rifle!

    Congrats on your new Big Boy.
    Hope to get mine soon...

    My Big Boy in 44 will not chamber anything with a shoulder, hope yours does but that's half the fun, finding the right boolit!
