Your findings are similar to what I found.Tape wrote:I ran 32rds through my Henry, I had 4 that would not get an audible click with a locked chamber and 28 that did. I measured the rim thickness of the 4 that didn't and the reading as follows;
1.27mm
1.24mm
1.25mm
1.25mm
the 4 of 28 that locked with an audible click;
1.22mm
1.20mm
1.20mm
1.21mm
The complete boxes of Hornady and the Winchester Varmint all locked with an audible click.

So SH, can we say that the "rim thickness" is the reason for the ammo not completely chambering in a Henry.
I only have (1) 22 magnum firearm, do you have others?
Have you tried to chamber them and if so what have you discovered?

The rim thickness was the reason for my Henrys not fully chambering the round. I also have several CZ's in .22WMR but never tried it in them.
