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.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

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.
