I have a 41 Hammer mold, and it has become about the only .41 bullet that I shoot in my revolver anymore. I love the large meplat, but it has me wondering if it will cycle through a lever gun. Have any of you that cast this bullet used it in a lever gun? I am thinking one of the Henrys would make a nice companion to my revolver, but not so much if it does not use the same ammo.

I'm not familiar with the Hammer.
I have the earlier version of the NOE 413-234-LFN, I would assume if the COAL is the same as NOE's LFN seated to crimp groove, it should cycle your Henry, as the NOE LFN cycles in my Henry.

It may not be as simple as an OAL comparison. The 41 hammer appears to have a much wider meplat than the NOE 413-234.
