The action in .45 rifles gets crudded up fast with black powder; .44-40, not so much. <br /><br />Don't worry, you will find loads that perform to your satisfaction at both ends of the barrel.David aka True Blue Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06221281748612938132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781672.post-69697927067377224432014-02-19T01:04:30.087-06:002014-02-19T01:04:30.087-06:00Mostly when there is a lot of smokey crud on the o... Mostly when there is a lot of smokey crud on the outside of the case it means that there isn't enough pressure to make the case expand to fit the chamber. So the smoke gets blown back.and the pressure is still high enough to stain things up. This is no biggie on cartridges like the .45 Colt since the SAAMI pressures are so low. Remember that almost all .45 Colt factory ammo is at 14,000 psi or less. Am unsure if the Henry will take those "Ruger only" loads that, say, my Navy Arms clone of the 92 Winchester will. Or the Marlin. <br /><br /> You might call or E-mail to Buffalo Arms and see if they will recommend their hotter ammo for your shootin' iron.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328124105257667842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781672.post-56775379282125225082014-02-18T22:48:59.378-06:002014-02-18T22:48:59.378-06:00I don't think I've ever stopped to look at...I don't think I've ever stopped to look at a shell after it's been fired in mine...bluesunhttp://deadmandance.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
