New member from Long Island

Post by garyseven » Sun Apr 09, 2017 4:41 pm

:D I just purchased my first Henry. Big Boy 357 magnum. Put on a scope, to help poor eyesight. Then went to range I tried several brands of ammo and some 38 specials. I love this gun!!! Most out of the box ammo gave ragged hole. I have a lot of guns but none have been so much fun from the very start. I also hand load and look forward to chatting with others about it. :D

Hey Gary! Welcome to the forum. Ditto on the 357, good choice.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

Welcome to the forum from CT. I know what you mean about that H006M. It's the most fun a shooter can hope to have. I handload for it, too, and so do several other members. Congratulations.

Clovispup and I have been in love with our .357 Big Boy steel since it came home from the gun store.

I've tried a number of different loads for it. My go to load balances cast, ease of loading, and accuracy. I use Xtreme 158 grain HPs over a medium load of Universal. A 158 grain jacketed over 4227 is more accurate by a little, but a lot more expensive to shoot. Since we go through at least 100 every week, Cost is an issue.
