Thank you all. I do shoot the other 45-70 lever gun. And iam good on that ammo but I am gathering everything for the 120.

welcome to our community and thanks for adding your Henry rifles to our community's total .... do you load your own 45-70 ammo .. .. do you fire full power or cowboy action loads .. .. please keep us up to date as you become better acquainted with your Henry .... looking forward to hearing you impressions after you get to know it better

Welcome from Western North Carolina!

Welcome!

Thanks for your service, Gary....and welcome from the Show-Me-State.

Interesting timing with your comment that you "shoot a lot of BP muzzleloaders." I just got my first BP ball & cap pistol this week. Starting a new adventure with a different type of firearm.

Many folk here will look forward to hear how you like your new Henry .45-70 SS. Of course, if you have visited the forum before joining, you know that pictures really tell a good part of the story, too!

Enjoy your time on the HRF.

Thanks for the service Gary and welcome to the forum. Im not sure Id tackle a 45-120. Powder column is not user friendly.
