.357 Magnum vs .44 Magnum Lever Actions

Post by JEBar » Mon Nov 02, 2020 4:29 pm

for anyone interested in hard data contrasting 357 & 44 Mag ammo as fired out of Henry rifles, the YouTube video below is well worth watching .... with many of us having a companion revolver, it also gives good info on the the difference in performance in bullets fired from a rifle and a revolver .... it isn't a thrill a second but does provide some good graphs .... for me, it confirmed some thoughts I have about the two calibers

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.......

With the right bullets 357 in rifle will get the job done and no question about the .44 Mag in a carbine all great for 100 yd. business if needed and a great plinker the 357/38 rifle is for the range!
