I just picked up a Henry BB in 45 Colt and wanted to know if anyone knows if they will handle the pressure levels of the Marlin 94's. I will be using 18.5 gr 2400 under a 290 gr keith bullet. I checked Paco's article on the 45 Colt in rifles and did not see a reference to the Henry. Any help would be appreciated.

The Henry Big Boys are chambered for the .44 Mag also so they "should" be able to handle more than SAAMI spec loads. However that load you are looking at is a 25K PSI load easily. So I'd be cautious with it.
