Longer barrels are an aesthetic I prefer but on the practical side, it is all about Sight Radius .
I can get easily the bullet to go fast enough.
Guess who just had a birthday? We did. Henry Rifle Forums has made it to the 10 year mark. Thank you to all members, I'm glad you are here!
Longer Barrels
Re: Longer Barrels
Yeah, balistics by the inch indicates 18-20" to be max effective for the 357.
Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.
Re: Longer Barrels
The 45-70 octagon barrel models have a 22" barrel.
Re: Longer Barrels
Built in America for Americans. If you like short barrels get one, if you like a 24" octagon barrel hope Henry will make one for the Big Boy. If they don't think they are popular Why have I been waiting 5 weeks to get a 24" barrel Frontier. Still waiting.
