I know you ran some heavier bullets in your Henry as I. I'm offshore so no access to rifle or bullets. Wondering what the longest noes to crimp length that would reliably cycle through the Henry BB in 45 colt. At least what is the longest you have used and it functioned. I'll go look on NOE's site and see if I can find the length on the Keith bullet I shot. Thanks!

The Accurate 45-297G is very close to the limit with 1.272" brass. I deliberately drew it to give about .010-015" breathing room, but that's about it. .345" past the brass is pretty much the absolute limit in my rifle, though the lifter could be filed to give a little bit more if you just had to.
