New Guy from Atlanta, GA
Hey folks,
new guy from Atlanta area. Firearm and hunting enthusiast. I currently don't own a Henry but am in the shopping phase. Most likely going to be a Big Boy in 44 MAG. I currently reload 44 MAG for a 5.5" SBH and would love something to share ammo with. Had an 1894 in 44 years ago. Went and fondled a BBB in 44 at the local Cabela's for kicks but will likely spend my dime at a LGS in the area. Cabela's is smoking the good stuff with their asking prices.
Looking forward to learning more about the rifles and some good handload recipes to pop some freezer meat with. Currently running 240 XTPs over a mid range dose of 2400 in the Ruger.
Thanks,
Wiskey

Welcome from Nebraska. A lot of 44 shooters here. I like the 357. Good luck with your search.

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Welcome from the TV, Oregon.
44 MAG would be my choice for my next Henry, too.
Yes Cabelas is high. Good idea to shop around.

Welcome Wiskey, and hello from a little north west of ya.
Yep, central West TN.
You said you liked the 2400, my BBB seems like 17.9 grs of 2400 under a 240 gr xtp or JSP's.
