They are pretty popular, like Al said probably just sold out at the moment.
Heck I'll bet just between the reloaders on this site alone, they produced 10-12 k of them for us last year.
I know I bought 1000 myself. :roll:

We are getting into a situation now where all our bullets are getting to pricey or scarce to shoot!

Plenty of round balls to shoot. Lots of smoke to make.

About 1350-1400 with the 180's. Very accurate round. This is with 11.5gr 2400 powder.

I didnt Randy. I looked online before I came down here for shooting possibilities but just couldnt come up with anything. So I left all my shooting irons at home except for the 38 special I carry everywhere.

Normal - 158 grain semi-jacketed FP
for Grizzly Bears - Buffalo Bore 180 grain Lead Flat Nose or HSM 180 grain semi-jacketed FP

Just joking about the Grizzly Bears. . .
Everyone knows that you need a 444 Marlin for Grizzlies

Pardon for butting in. I just got my first Henry and first .357, the steel single shot. I have 2 boxes of the 140 grain leverevolution and a few boxes of .38 Special. In reading here I’ve assumed the 158 gn round is what Henry recommends. Have I misunderstood? Can anyone shed some light on this or link me to a previous post? The manual that came with the gun was for the shotgun and the one they mailed to me didn’t mention the .357 at all let alone recommend a load. Thanks in advance.
