Re: Henry in .327 shoot long?
Thanks for the video link. Seems to answer my question quite well. Looks like I'll be putting the .327 Henry on my wish list.

Re: Henry in .327 shoot long?
I've got a S&W 31-1 in pristine shape. I take it to the range maybe once a year. It's a fine shooter for sure. Never had the inkling to try them in the Henry though. It shoots really smooth with the mag loads.

Re: Henry in .327 shoot long?
I shot a lot of longs in my rifle today
I found it will cycle fine if you keep the same type of round in the tube
so don't put a long 2 h&r 3 fed mags and 2 longs..... it doesn't like it

Re: Henry in .327 shoot long?
reported personal experience appreciated .... I have no clue why it wouldn't like mixing them and find that to be very interesting

Mine has digested .32 S&W longs without even noticing.
I have fired .32S&W shorts as well, but they take a little finesse on the lever to get them to feed properly.
The ammo capability is one of the reasons I bought the Henry .327.

I have both the steel carbine and the brass rifle models. Both shoot/feed the 32 S&W Longs without a hiccup.

I have thoroughly cleaned the bore and elemated the ring so all ready to fire .327 fed mag

Re: Henry in .327 shoot long?
I've never tried HR magnums or SW long in my 327. Heck the recoil is nothing as is. I guess they could be a good plinking load but might just as well be shooting a .22.

I use that pill in my henry loaded in 32S&WL cases for around 1100fps. Fantastic small game load, feeds and function through the rifle without any issues.brettitt41 wrote: ↑Thu May 21, 2020 7:29 pmI cast and shoot Lee 90gn Semi wadcutters in my S&W 30's so a carbine would be a fun plinker and small game taker.

Mine will fire and eject 32S&W but they have to be single loaded, being significantly shorter than even the 32S&WL they certainly will not feed through the magazine.
