- 45-70 Henry Lever Action and 405 grain cartridges- That is today's topic here on ITW Firearms.
Hey shooters, I hope you came ready to enjoy the beauty and firepower behind my Henry 45-70 Govt Lever Action.
As much as I talk about this incredible piece of lead slinging technology, it was certainly time to shoot it for everyone.
I discarded the boxes for the ammunition. The 405, I recall, is Remington.
It was a nice, snowy day here in Western, CO and I was itching to make this video.
I hope you enjoyed!

Brother, buy a little book by Paul Matthews titled 40Years With The 45-70. Youll enjoy it. Then stop using that Hornady Leverrevolution and load your own. You can go real cheap into it with an Lee loader kit and buy some cast bullets to start with.
This is the exact comment I was hoping for. Thank you
Cheap Lee reload kit. But buy a good scale n you are golden. I have a cheap Lee kit its about 40 years now and I have load over 10k+ with it. Works great.
@@ITW.Firearms I cast my own 330 Lyman and Postell for 45-70 and Keith style SWC for .45 and .44 mag. Lee also sells great bullet molds. Load for those and many others since 1970s. Get your components now while you still can. Ditto on the Paul Matthews book.
Henry makes some beautiful lever action rifles.
amen
My God its beautiful there!
The Hogbacks in Western Colorado
@@ITW.Firearms I love that jacket where did you pick that bad boy up?
Nice rifle! I reload for my Winchester 1886. Using cast bullets only so far both 308 gr and 405. . Also great results with factory Remington 405 gr Corelok (1600 fps). Also, Winchester 300 gr PowerPoint (1890 FPS) ammo has worked well. My goto powder has been Reloder 7 and my reloads are coming out at 1620 FPS.
Noted! Thank you for sharing
1886 and Marlins for me too brother. Cast for them and the Sharp's and Ruger No1. There's an old mould the Lyman 330gr Gould Bullet.
If you're going to be going through Eastern Colorado down I-70 I live in a small town of Burlington I do have a magazine that you're welcome to that's all about reloading and it's got the data. I'm not sure but I believe that magazine is called reloader but a lot of your gun magazines will have some Reloading Data in it otherwise Limon and Hornady produces a reloader booklet.
I have lived and hunted where you are and loved every minute. I have many stories and memories from the western slope. I reload and it’s true about cost saving. Save those brass.
Where at in the Western Slope? I'm in Silt. Beautiful country
Dam good video brother keep em coming
Made my day! Thanks a bunch!

You have a fantastic rifle! I have the Henry Big boy cch, octagonal barrel carbine in 357 mag. Great fun at the range.
Colbran, Debreaq, Mesa and the flat tops. Love it. Silt is awesome too.
All beautiful country! I have yet to explore all of colbran
Back in 2014, there was a significant landslide in that area. You might be interested: /watch?v=ljA8S1kUpbs
I am very aware of that slide, I hunted not too far from it after it happened.
Nice! I just picked up a Chiappa Kodiak and was checking out 45-70 vids. 🔥
Looks like a great day to be on the western slope. Headed out Meeker way in a few days for a late season elk hunt. Keep the content coming!
Have fun in Meeker. I'm only a bit of a drive South from there. Best of luck with your hunt
I’m Jealous. What a Great way to start the New Year. Going on an Elk Hunt is something on my Bucket List. Good Luck on your Hunt.
@@joeybobbie1 Turned out great. First day filled the tag and I now have a freezer full of tasty elk. Hope you get your hunt in soon, too!
1. I'd be interested in the bandolier contact
2. Huge 45-70 fan. I first had a Henry All Weather I traded it for a .357 All Weather and got a 45-70 (Ruger) Marlin Trapper.
3. I have reloaded for 45-70. Those were Hornady 300 flat nose. I have 500 gn sitting on the shelf but haven't worked on those.
1.) bobbypeoples303@gmail.com
2.) Thanks! I love them too
3.) I would love to throw some 500 around
Went to high school in Hotchkiss, lived for a while in Grand Junction. Miss the beautiful country.
Nice gun and great round.
Thank you!!
Cant wait to get mine! Super stoaked
U livein the life i want to live
Great video on the rifle action! I reload for the 450 bushmaster and cast my own 340 grn bullet hunting rounds at half the cost. Its very satisfying to know Im not as dependant on hornady as others
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for sharing this. Love it.
I pick up this exact model of Henry next week in .357/.38Sp… I cannot wait.
Liked and sub’d
I am looking forward to seeing more of this gun on your channel
All lever actions can jam the way the Henry did. It takes gunsmith work to smooth the lever action to make a lever more reliable. That said the size of the 45/70 round makes jambs more likely. Smaller calibers are less likely to catch a round in the gate. I shoot several different levers . It takes practice and smoothing your action to reliable at rapid fire
Would you recommend taking it to a professional smith to smooth the action? Thanks for the comment and info
Awsum Braddah what a gun🤙
It absolutely is! Thanks for commenting
Great video! Awesome ride!! FYI… I started reloading years ago, and began with the book Modern Reloading by Richard Lee. Great book that covers the basics and more. A whole world of reloading gear and supplies out there. I eventually moved off of Lee equipment to Dillon as I wanted to load in volume for 45acp and 38/357.
Best of luck and keep sharing these great experiences. You’re very good at it.
Of course I meant rifle! Henry makes a beautiful series of rifles.
Thanks for commenting and watching the video! Will continue to share more
Reloading get a Lee Reloading manual lee 45-70 dies a single stage press kit powder scale .
When you can use the 1873 Trap door loads or the 1886 Winchester / 1895 Marlin lover action loads that are a little hotter. You also have the opportunity to load Black Powder.
I reload for my 1886 Winchester .
I also would be interested in getting the info on the ammunition bandalier.
Thank you for sharing!
Email for bando is bobbypeoples303@gmail.com
Good looking rifle. I have the all weather version with the side loading gate in .45-70.
You have good taste in rifles
How about a video on your leather bandolier? That is really nice.
The guy who made it is very talented. Unfortunately, I haven't heard from him in some time. I am looking for a new leather guy to recommend work from
There are heavy loads by Grizzly Cartridge that are made for big game they load a +P 300gr HP that runs 2400 fps. That’s enough to flatten a bear. But I agree hand loading opens a 45/70 up to more versatile and hard hitting loads
Love the outfit brother
Thanks man!!
Remember me when you’re famous
Yep Henry leverguns feed issue bcuz the carriers are crap sent mine back on the day I received it 2 returns and Henry gave me my money back could not imagine trusting my life to a Henry
My 1970s marlins have never failed never jammed regardless of ammo or weather never
Did you see my new video of marlin vs Henry? I’d have to agree after my experience
What brand is your 405gr
While riding my horse here in Alaska Iuse 400gr hard cast flat nose
The 405s are Remington.
Baddest .45-70 commercial loads, Garrett Cartridges of Texas.
Also consider DoubleTap Ammo, Grizzly Ammo, Buffalo Bore, and Steinel.
Not sure of the status of Henry rifles if they can handle the +p or not, but Winchester 1886 (new manufacture) do easily, and the Ruger made Marlins can handle them as well.
... a gap where the butt stock joins the back of the receiver on that Henry
Hi, I love the Henry Lever Action 45-70. The only reason you had the Failure to Feed, was because you didn’t complete the Cycle correctly when Levering in the next Round. The Henry runs great except when you don’t actuate the Lever completely. Very nice Rifle. Thanks for the Videos showing the Henry.👍👍
Noted! Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed
"Ima tellya" right now, neither of my two Henrys feed a longer round, 357 or 45C. And that heavier round which is longer, looked to hi cup on the length of that cartridge..
I could be way off base, but I would wear the bandolier over my left shoulder...
I wear over my right. Easier to access in my experience
Where did you get that bandolier? I've been looking for one like that for my 45-70
Hand made by Robert Peoples. His email is bobbypeoples303@gmail.com
I just got an email from Bobby Peoples and he is starting to make my bandolier. Can’t wait!
More info please on bandalier
My leather guy has gone cold on me. Haven't heard from him in months... I intend to find someone local and will review their work
Save that empty brass.
Will do!
@@ITW.Firearms I reload, rifle, pistol and shotgun. I don't have anything in 45-70. I just didn't get that far in my collection. I had to retire young due to my health. I would be willing to help you out with your reloading questions. I've been reloading for over 25 years. I do have a marvelous Marlin 336 gray laminate 308 Marlin Express with a Stainless barrel. I shot a deer at 320 yards before any ballistics were available. I had sighted it in, at 100 yards. Smoked that buck!
Who makes the bandolier and what's the cost??
Custom made. Looking for a new leather guy to produce these.
Is there a target?
Yes
Reloading isn't all that difficult. Straight wall cases like the 45-70 and 45 Colt are very simple and straight forward. Figure what bullets you want to use and get the reloading manual from that company. Likely on their website as well. Having the manual is nice for all kinds of calibers and general information. Guns magazine is a great resource. Subscribe to that and the sister publication American Handgunner. Tank Hoover, one of the writers, loads both of those cartridges and has articles on such. A single stage press, powder measure, your dies, a hand held priming tool (RCBS or Lee) and your components will get you started. Save your brass!! 😁 From there you're all set. Having a chronograph to see what the loads are doing out of your guns is nice. Not absolutely necessary but sure makes load development easier to get the performance you want.
Thank you for sharing! Will keep the channel posted when I begin reloading. Just saving brass for now
Oh Dude a feed issue - 1 out of 9 shots disqualifies this gun as a bear defense arm
best
Bruce Peek
Hey Bruce, I’ll do a video shooting a lot more and test if the feed was a one off
I hate saying anything critical, but it seemed your action was a little fast and herky jerky with the round that did not feed. I have shot lever action for 54 years with out a issue. Of course I live in South Florida and have no idea how that cold weather would effect the smoothness of the action. I don't do any outdoor activities below 55 degrees. LOL
You’re partially right. I didn’t get the action All the way open
