I have a Henry Big Boy in .45 Colt that gets teamed up with my 625-9 Mountain Gun(.45 Colt) and/or my Ruger SS New Vacquero in the same chambering. The Henry is smooth and accurate. I like the brass receiver's looks. The .45 Colt is a great cartridge that functions perfectly with a variety of powders including black powder and Triple 7. I think the .45 Colt is most useful when one reloads it since factory ammo is pretty expensive and choices are limited. For range shooting on a budget, .38/.357 may be a better choice. I really like having a revolver and carbine that uses same cartridge.
