Welcome from So-Cal! I have the same Henry; you're going to really enjoy that rifle. Now, you NEED a BB steel in .45 Colt! Enablers we are.
Do you handload?
My dad is teaching me how to reload and he has a nice Dillion setup with everything needed for some common calibers. My 10 day wait is over on 12/8 and I can't wait to bring it home. Is a Henry Big Boy 45 chambered in 45 Long Colt or ACP?
.45 Colt. For a larger cartridge, the Colt is really mild mannered in recoil, especially in a rifle. Enjoy your Henry
I got to shoot a .45 Colt recently and was surprised that it did not have too much recoil, but sure put some wide holes in the target. :D My next Henry will most likely be Long Ranger in 556/223.

357 is my new favorite, This state right in the middle isn't exactly easy to navigate for ammo and weapon purchases and promise to make it easier since the filthy rich hotel trust fund boy was re-elected governor.

Today is the big day and my wait 10 day wait period finally ended thank God. I just picked up my 357 Big Boy Classic from my LGS and plan to hit the range this weekend or tomorrow. Pictures to follow. How do I register it with Henry? I can't find anything for that on their website?

Henry will honor ANY Henry rifle issue. No registry required.

That is what I was thinking. My Dad's friend bought a used Henry 22 which had some sort of problem. So this non-original owner sent it to Henry for help and they sent him back a new rifle. Makes me want to buy another Henry already just because of that. My next one will most likely be the Henry Long Ranger 556/223.

I have three Henrys but no brass receivers. A lot of the members here have mentioned using Renaissance wax though.

Long Ranger 556/223 is an excellent choice. It was my 2nd purchase.
