I have a Henry steel in 357. Just wondering if anyone shoots 38 Special in these. Do they cycle ok?

I have shot 38 special in mine but don’t do it to much. Mine cycles them just fine

.38 specials function fine in mine but I rarely shoot them as my sights are set for hot .357 magnums at 50 yds.

Same as Al and Steve. .38's cycle fine thru my Henry. Like shooting a .22!

Have not even run any 38's thru mine. I have heard though, that on rare occasions you can get a jam while cycling
I believe the shorter length is the problem.
The rifle was designed mostly with the 357 in mind.

I just bought a 357 steel and could only find 38s (Blazer brass 125 JHP). I had 2 hang ups in the 1st 10 rounds. I realized I was the problem......the next 90 rounds cycled perfectly.

Got to be firm with the action. .38's work find in both of my .357's
