welcome indeed .... delighted to have you join our community .... our Henry 45-70 has proven to be one heck of a rifle .... not knowing your tolerance for recoil, its difficult to make an ammo recommendation .... what most folks find to be harsh recoil is generated by dangerous game level ammo .... cowboy action ammo produces less powerful bullets but is much more comfortable to fire ..... inside of 100 yards, cowboy action bullets can take down white tails .... if you plan to load your own, you should be able to find one that fits your needs .... be sure to follow the link below to where you can add your Henry to our community's total

I’m not very recoil sensitive. I have a 12 gauge Remington 870 that I shoot 3.5” Hevi-Shot Mag blends for turkey hunting and it doesn’t bother me. I used to have a .450 Marlin guide gun that I sold due to not being able to find ammo and I assume the 45/70 would be close to this in terms of recoil. The Marlin recoiled way less than 12 gauge with turkey loads. I’m mainly wanting an accurate round for hunting and not worried about the power level either way. I’ll enter my Henry in the forum registry once I get it. I ordered it from RK Guns and it’s on it’s way to my local Rural King according to the tracking information they sent me. I hope to have it sometime next week.
