Why is Henry not offering the side gate in the most popular rifles like .357 .44 Mag and .45 Colt?
I would have started in those calibers first!
What? no Love for the 41? :lol:
I'd be curious to know what their top selling center fire rifle is.

Oh boy! We haven't had a guessing game in a long time!
My guess Big Boy Classic in .44mag.

I just think that is a really popular caliber. Might be wrong.

a while back we counted and found that Henry offers 44 mag in more different rifles than any other caliber

I've fired hundreds of HSM Cowboy Action 405 gr'ers through our highly modified CCH 45-70 and they are indeed fun to fire .... I hope to be able to spend some time tomorrow developing a similar load around 300 gr Nosler Ballistic Silvertips .... HSM list the muzzle velocity at 1300 fps .... my hope it to come up with a load that pushes our Noslers at 1200 +/- .... with the lighter bullet, the recoil shouldn't be bad at all
If you remember, could you let me know how that works out? I’d be very interested to hear, as I thought I read somewhere (ifits on the “webz” it must be true!) that the heavier bullet weight in the 405s was partly responsible for the diminished recoil? The least pleasant rounds I’ve put through mine are the 325 grain LeverEvolution but I’ve no idea what the powder charge is in them.
