Re: Side loading gate problems.
The type of bullet is the hornady xtp. My brass is always trimmed to specs. This is the first Henry side load I own, my other Henry's have seen nothing but reloads,44mag,and 45-70 and they love them. The lawyers do all the talking for the gun companies,in my humble opinion. The 35 rem loves the reloads also, but they don't like to be loaded from the side. I guess I will have to do some more experimenting. Thanks to all who have responded.

Re: Side loading gate problems.
Hey everyone,I figured out why my reloads would not load through the side loading gate on my Henry brass 35 rem. The top of my cases are hitting the loading tube. I pulled the tube out and they loaded just fine. My solution to the problem was to give the rounds a slightly heavier crimp. Thanks for all of your responses.

Re: Side loading gate problems.
good to hear you figured it out .... do admit I'm trying to visualize how a heavier crimp would solve the problem

Me too, but it worked. It is still is a little jerky, but they slide in.

Re: Side loading gate problems.
That makes sence.
Case mouth edge hitting an edge.
Better Crimp allows that edge to pass the loading tube mouth.
35rem cases are flared before seating a bullet, the case mouth is so delicate.
