New Member Saying Hello

Hello All

Unlike so many of you, I have only one Henry rifle, a single shot in .30-30 Win. I have grown to like it so much, I anticipate buying a second single shot in .223 Rem. At such time that my meager wallet allows the purchase.

Something about the simplicity of the design and the quality of the construction struck a chord with me.

In any event, hello again.

:D Welcome from Eastern Washington State. I’m thinking that if one were to have only one Henry rifle yours is the one to have. Good job.

Thank you. For some reason, I am taken with them.

Possibly more than one soon.

Welcome from Michigan. I have been eyeing the .223 single shot as well. Watch out for this group of enablers, they will have you eyeing several more. Not that it is a bad thing to have more Henrys.

Welcome, and Hello, I myself only have 3, but if Henry makes a SS in the new Buckhammer. Rumor is that they are....
I just may try one.
Do you shoot factory ammo, or do you reload?

For .30-30 Win., I do both.

I've had good luck with the Henry single shot as well as a pre-cross bar safety Glenfield 30A using W748 with Winchester cases, Winchester Silver-Tip 150 gr. bullets and Winchester primers. Unfortunately, my supply of the old Silver Tip bullets is starting to get low.

As far as factory ammo, both it and the Glenfield seem satisfied with Federal Power Shok 150 gr bullets. Not premium ammo but still, quality ammo.
